Clean sound test on new license plate guitar

Just testing out the tone on my new licence plate guitar. I found it too quiet acoustically, and the piezos I fitted originally didn't sound good. I've now wound a single coil pickup for it. (Alnico 5, 9200 winds 42awg)
The tune is an original piece I have posted before, sorry!

Comment by Roger Ring on May 25, 2014 at 2:04am: That sounds great Richey ! I wish mine sounded one half that good.

Comment by Richey Kay on May 25, 2014 at 1:34am: Cheers! That's right Robert. Who would have thought it would be so simple :-)

Comment by robert jones on May 25, 2014 at 12:30am: Ah, so the solution to sound problems with LP guitars is to build a better pickup. :D

Comment by Andy Kirke on May 24, 2014 at 11:58pm: Great sound and really nice song. Sweet!

Comment by Richey Kay on May 24, 2014 at 11:20pm: Thanks Pick and Wes!

Comment by the anonymous pick on May 24, 2014 at 8:41pm: yum yum .. ;-)

Comment by Richey Kay on May 24, 2014 at 6:42pm: I have a feeling this will sound pretty good through some heavy distortion too... I'll break out the Line6 over the next couple of days :)
