Go looking at maker-spaces or whatever they are called in the US. Most of them will be trying to make electric guitars but they will be showing at least some skills with small pickup coils and low noise amplifiers.

Here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA we have a Maker Faire
every August (Saturday, August 24, this year).
I have been going regularly, in fact I have shown my
stuff (how to digitize a print book) for several years.
They have a lot of interesting stuff, but not the sort
of thing this thread has been talking about.  Lots of
foods, drones, and other stuff, such as costumes.
But not much in the way of stuff built from electronic
components, unless you count the small computers used to
controls the working systems.
I think somebody has said that by using the various small
computers you can do a lot more complex things than you
can with individual components.  That is why you don't see
many things that use individual components.
