Yikes what hobo has 60 bucks to buy a pick up I've got some metal cores from my tattoo machines going to use them to wind my own as well ..

Have wound and potted a few Mag Pups mainly from old Wall Wart's, which do work, have tried winding with very fine Copper wire, but it keeps breaking  :-(  and they don't sound as good as the cheap Chinee Ebay ones, as the pic shows I was incorrect in calling it a $56 Pup, its actually a little bit more than that   44.97 USD = 57.0168AUD

Yow, Alan. That is some high shipping or tariff.   Somehow I have not gotten interested in the pickup making.  I am kind of pleased that I did early on take or make some piezos from door bells.

Looks Good 'UJ', glad your happy with the $5 pup, had a look at the MGB site, if I were to purchase one, after taking into account the Exchange Rate & Postage Costs to the "Land of Aus" it would turn into a $56AUD Pickup, I think I'll have a go at winding my own!     :-)

Thanks, guys.  This is one of those good deals where I like it better the day after stringing it up.  That 5 dollar pickup from MGB is quite good and it is better acoustic than I first thought. 

Yup, James O.  I thought of Clock.  He commented on it on FB.   I will hang on to it for now or longer.  Could gift it later.  Could fret it and make it a 4 string.  If I had a good place to hang it horizontally, it would make pretty nice and playable wall art.
