Big Red got strung and wired today. Wow, what a deep rich tone and rumble from the center of the Earth. My best effort in box guitar sound. It's Tin's-O-Fun!

Thanks Jerry. This one's still rumbling! I will go after Red's fingerboard and stripe it to help me see my way in play. I'm liking the striping. I'm working my way through my pile of guits and doing improvements.

Thanks Hillbilly. I've been playing it through my Vox with auto-wah. It's killer.

To answer your question on the spring reverb build Dave, at the moment the springs are only strung between the neck and the side of the box, I notice they do vibrate, but don't know if they affect the sound or not, have yet to still do a bit of experimentation, with them touching the bottom of the saw blade etc.

Bristol, thanks for your comment. I'll be looking for more such pickups.
Comment by Bristol Blue on February 5, 2016 at 11:35am

AGP & Dave ; Tele type pickups are awesome IMO too !  I took delivery of my Hubcap guitar (HSG no. M-44) last week. Specified Tele neck pick up & not dissapointed :-)
