Simplest Homemade Electric Guitar

Last Updated on July 4, 2020 by Admin Leave a Comment

Do you wish to convert your own Hawaian guitar into a simple electronic guitar ?Well here’s an excellent idea for you. It will cost you about $1 only. ,

You will need only a door-bell electromagnet (230V AC) and a transistor receiver or a standard audio amplifier.

Fix the electromagnet somewhere near the wires of your guitar or banjo with wires running parallel in front of the poles and making sure that the wires do not touch the poles.

The electromagnet will now serve as a pick-up coil. Now, simply connect the two terminalsiof the coil to the input points of the amplifier, switch on the amplifier, keep its volume control at a comfortable level and start playing the

guitar. You will now hear clearly your guitar notes from the amplifier. By trial and error find a position for coil where maximum output can be obtained, and fix it there permanently.

Use shielded wire for the coil wires to avoid unwanted noise. If a strong permanent magnet is placed very close to the core of the electromagnet, the output obtained will be very high.

About Admin

Hey friends, Thanks a bunch for stopping by this site! I am an engineer with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunication. One of my passions is gathering information from all sorts of electronics books and tutorials. I then take that information and compile it into a language that is super easy to understand. My goal is to make those complex electronics circuit concepts and technical terms much more accessible for all the new and budding electronics engineers out there. I can also design customized circuit diagrams as required by the users.
If you have any questions related to this field, please do not hesitate to drop a comment! I am always here and ready to help you out with any queries you might have. I cannot wait to hear from you!
