1952 – Ceramic Magnets Were Introduced by:

J.J. Went, G.W. Rathenan, E.W. Gorter, and G.W. Van Oosterhout from the Phillips Company

They developed the first commercial ceramic magnets based on barium, strontium, and lead-iron oxides.

Ceramic magnets are completely neutral and add no coloration to the tone. They are great magnets for high output applications. 

Ceramic work great for crunch and distortion. The SRV pickups in this guitar contain ceramics and are high output pickups that deliver all the aggression

you need and can be used from blues to jazz to metal. 

Non-metallic  magnets such as the ceramic variety do not change the inductance of a  pickup coil.

The tone of these  pickups is often described as “aggressive” with

moderate to high output which can overdrive an amplifier. 

Ceramic magnets have lower force on the strings than alnico magnets. 

Very strong magnets (typically the alnico magnets) exert a

strong pull on the strings of the instrument and 

can reduce sustain and pull strings,"out of tune"

These Custom Stratocaster Vintage HOT SRV Pickups added give it a Stevie Ray signature sound in any amp!

The Treble Bleed modification is included

How does it work?

It allows you to roll off your volume without losing the highs.

Would you like being able to use the volume control... without sacrificing tone?

Now You Can... with a Treble Bleed Circuit Mod added on this guitar!

As you turn your guitar's volume down, the pot allows some of the current to go to ground as opposed to the output.

The frequencies that leave first are the highs, which leave the tone muddy and obscured without an "edge" on it to a discerning ear. 

Avoid this by using our:

Haywire Treble Bleed Circuit

This  variable tone circuit is pre-installed.

The Treble Bleed  is hand-soldered here in our shop: between the input and output lugs of  your guitar volume control pot, to smooth out treble bleed. Get more  uniform tone from 1 to 10, and a more rounded sound at low volume.

When you lower your guitar's Volume control so does your tone's clarity.  Your tone is now muddy & with too much bass.

By adding a Haywire Treble Bleed Circuit to your Volume Control Pot,  your guitar will "Bleed" in more Treble as you turn your volume down.

Now you have much cleaner, articulate tones when rolling down the volume control.

  It allows the treble frequencies to be re-introduced into the output for clarity and improved timbre.

At Haywire we simply install a TB Circuit capacitor. We build them in our custom guitars for a better Low and High sound spectrum:

1-error-correction of signals with enhanced clarity

2- preserve high end frequencies

3-improved taper when rolling back your volume control

Haywire Custom Guitars 8-point gig ready guitar process...

1. The 4-axis Alignment of the guitar neck. Each guitar neck is checked and adjusted to insure that it is  true and straight to insure proper alignment on all axis. This step  insures proper action and allows for more accurate and easier guitar  tuning, playing and set-up in the following steps. 

2. Inspect and Lube the  guitar tuning gears. Before installing the guitar tuning gears, each  one is checked thoroughly. Each tuning gear is adjusted-there is no play  in the mechanism. They are then lubricated to insure smooth and even  movement to make your guitar tune  accurately.                   

3. Potting the guitar pickups-We dip the pickups in hot wax to reduce squeal and unwanted guitar feedback 

4. Prep the guitar body-Before  installing the guitar electronic components, great care is taken to  insure that all wires are properly routed, spaced, and grounded to  insure years of trouble free service with your guitar 

5. Level and polish the frets-This insures that all of the guitar frets are level, eliminating any possibility of fret buzz due to unevenness. 

6. Radius the guitar strings-Most  guitar necks have a contour over the top of the neck. We adjust the  strings to make sure that height of each string follows the contour of  the guitar neck.

7. Adjusting the overall guitar string height and the action.Once  we set the contour and radius of the guitar strings, then to adjust the  overall height of the strings from the top of the frets to the bottom  of the strings. 

8. Set the guitar intonation-This  step is done twice. The intonation is set two times with a 24 hour  seat-in period in between to allow the guitar to properly re-seat to the  new adjustments.

"Building satisfied players one Haywire Custom guitar at a time!"

* Great Tone and Sustain

This Haywire Guitar comes with one year warranty on our workmanship from Haywire Custom Guitars.

At Haywire our aim is getting better every day! The  job is only complete when you are completely happy with your guitar  because you'll use it every day. It needs to be comfortable and  light-weight enough to play for hours at a time in any situation without  fatigue.

The sound has to be clear and tone-great. It has to  be built to withstand the rigors of being on the road whether touring or  playing in local venues. It has to feel good to you when you play it.

 The action and feel need to be consistent all the way down the neck so  you won't be forced to alter your playing technique as you travel around  on the fret board. A guitar players instrument needs to be in tune on  every fret so we pay careful attention to the intonation settings.

 It has to look good for you and represent your sense of style. The  finish has to last for a long time to protect the wood from absorbing  moisture from the atmosphere as well as sweat from direct contact with  hard working hands.

The neck needs to have a truss rod that is  easy to adjust for seasonal variations in temperature as well as the  ability to transmit sound and add extra sustain for players. Strings  added need to be a comfortable gauge without too much resistance thus  making it easier to push down to the crown of the frets.

These are just some of  the things that we think about every day to make sure we get it exactly  right for guitar players who need a great instrument for their  passion-PLAYING GUITAR!!    We're building satisfied players.....  One  Haywire Guitar at a time!!
