HotBox Guitars replied to hocuspocus's discussion CBG Pickup home made, Help required
"Did you put any insulation between your mag poles and the wire? Like Scotch tape. Or is the wire directly against the mags? You waxed it for about 20 min?"

Very cool, is the swap meet at the fair grounds? How often are you out there and during what times?

Dang I wish I'd seen that message earlier. Hey this Saturday Jason Farthing of the Budrows is having a CBG art/show at the Santa Ana Artwalk in the downtown area. You should definately stop by. It will be from 7pm-11pm we will be in the walkway next to the Yost Theatre off 4th and Spurgeon. I will be opening up for the Budrows @ 8pm and the Budrows will be playing @ 9pm. Come check it out, Josh Gayou from Smokehouse guitars will also be there that night.

Right now I'm the only guy who'll regularly play cbg, I used to have a friend who would jam with me but he left for the Army a few months ago. I won't be there but there will be Open Mic this weekend. I'll be there next weekend though.

Cool stuff.   It makes me want to go dig around my box of old Willys parts from my 1947 CJ-2A project and find parts for a new Diddly Bow.

Thanks for the friend request.  That zerk-o-rama tailpiece is a bit of ingenuity.  Great repurposing!  Lots of great pics on your page.  Tell me about those Mark Twain boxes?
