I am about to begin my 3rd build. Which type of pick up would the forum recommend for a LPG, single coil or Peizo?

1 What sound do you want? In the end that's what's most important. 

2 How is going to be played? Natural or distorted? If your planning on rocking this thing out I'd go with both. That way you can add or subtract one or the other as needed. Just a piezo could cause a lot of feedback. 

I agree with Wayfinder. Both will be best. 

OK, thanks for the advice, I'll look into a dual set up

ThinBucker, no cutting? That's got my attention, where would I get one?

That's absolutely perfect, nice one!

I used a snake oil humbucker on my LPG and love it!  I did have to cut a hole, but a couple of holes drilled at the corners and a dremmel cut off wheel did it slick.

With my limited skills, and I do mean limited a stick on pick up is very appealing indeed. It seems that the ThinBucker shop is closed however and there is no capacity to get in touch to buy one, any ideas?

Hi there

Which Dan, there's quite a few of them on here!

I made contact by this site but unfortunately did not get a response 

he's pretty  good at  responding  ,,   and seems   best  to  catch  him  in  the morn  . 

or try again . sometimes this  site  messaging  is  farky . 

TIM TAMS!  We love those!  (and hard to find in the US...)
