Have you ever wanted to learn how to install your own pickups? Or maybe even modify your wiring? Or perhaps problem solve and swap out faulty components? Well the HCG Electronics Masterclass is going to greatly benefit you.
Why are we doing this? - "When i started repairing there were no hands on tutorials, I had to learn by trial and error which can be incredibly daunting for someone who's never picked up a soldering iron. So i wanted to solve these problems for you, providing you with the knowledge and confidence to tackle your own wiring, saving you both time and money." _ Michael Harron
In this class students will learn:
- Theory surrounding electronic components and their operation - including Polarity, in/out of phase, pickup construction, electronic component construction and breakdown.
- How to correctly install and uninstall pickups
- Correct soldering methods (If it smells like chicken you're holding it wrong!)
- Wiring of a super 5 way switch
- Wiring of a push pull potentiometer
- Various problem solving including grounding, multimeter testing and faulty components.
All students will be completing these tasks on a loaded pick-guard supplied by Harron Custom Guitars, to keep the classes uniformity when folowing along instructions, just as we do in our Hands-On Setup Masterclasses!
After working with artists such as Parkway Drive, The Living End, Aria Award Winners Northlane and Angus and Julia Stone, as well as thousands of guitar players across the country, we have developed an immense understanding of all aspects of guitar and bass, and we are the first to provide classes imparting this knowledge on to others. We truly believe education not only raises the standard of work, but saves the player money and adds excitement about all facets of our instruments!
Join a class and gain access to our Student only Masterclass Group Page where you'll join hundreds of other likeminded individuals that have completed our hands on training. Where you'll have the Harron Custom Guitars team at your disposal for any questions, source material or just a space to talk gear!
