Historic E-guitar: Idea Pickguard AMEfication
Design
A first design is finished, a complete explanation of the targeted functionality is included, and the targeted printer technology has been provided. This AME design also provides a model which is proven to fulfill the targeted functionality.
We are thrilled to share further insights and updates on episode two of our Historic E-guitar Meets AME. Join us again as we showcase our dedication and innovative spirit.
The New Pickguard With Individual Motherboard
In this episode, we are simplifying the process of installing a new pickguard with an individual motherboard on the backside to enhance signal performance and achieve optimal sound quality. By specifically wiring the motherboard for humbuckers, we aim to preserve the positions of the original inserts seamlessly. We have incorporated coaxial connections using 3D printing technology that offer superior shielding and reduce reliance on traditional cabling. The design of the motherboard has been carefully crafted for easy implementation, making it simpler to solder various potentiometer pads directly onto it. This streamlined process eliminates wire cabling complexity and ensures a cleaner, more efficient setup.
Customizable Motherboards and Enhanced Signal Shielding
To develop a PCB-like component motherboard with greater potential for individualization, making it easy to implement with a simple plug-in system. The focus is on enhancing signal shielding by incorporating AME's specialized coaxial lines, ensuring superior audio quality.Â
Additionally, AME explores the possibility of directly printing capacitors for precise audio filter tuning. However, one challenge lies in the size of the components, which calls for further exploration and refinement in order to achieve optimal functionality and compactness.Â
Preserving Authenticity Pickguard
In our pursuit of maintaining authenticity, we find ourselves in need of a new pickguard that closely resembles the original, down to the placement of screw holes. Our dedication to detail ensures that the replacement pickguard seamlessly integrates with the instrument's design, preserving its aesthetic appeal.
Overcoming Space Constraints: Shielding and Functionality in the Old HOPF
In order to achieve effective shielding, we employed semi-flex antenna cabling material and conducted meticulous manual wiring. The limited space within the old HOPF posed a significant challenge when accommodating multiple cables. Nevertheless, our main focus remained on validating the design's functionality. Despite the difficulties, we persisted in our efforts to ensure that the system operated smoothly and met our intended objectives.
The Successful Integration
In our process towards innovation, we have confirmed the successful integration of a conventional pickguard with heavy antenna cabling. As we transition to a more efficient approach, we fully embrace the AME way, which aims to eliminate the need for complex cabling and simplify our processes.Â
To address the challenge posed by the significant distance between the head and bridge audio control, we have decided to implement separate AME boards. These boards will provide efficient and effective control, ensuring optimal performance.Â
Join us on the next episode as we explore the possibility of AME and push the boundaries of innovation. We can't wait to share the final process with you. See you there!
