First mag pup - Rat Rod git - still a work in progress

I had trouble with piezos on this and another hub cap git. I got two covered bass pups from Gitty and did the odd ball retro fit you see here. The jack comes out the bottom. This git never had much acoustic volume. But it is a very easy player - just chords and notes easy..... And now with this pup? Sounds fantastic plugged in. Big rat rod :)

Nice one Uncle John. Love the neck jack. Rat is perfect.

I kind of liked the 'Rube Goldberg' look.  I think I later painted the wood black.

Cool.

Wow! Radical retrofit. I've been asked to do a hubcap gat. Why does the piezo not sound any good?

Thanks Bruce.  I am tempted to leave it just as it is.
