I used a old speaker on a diddley bow I made....it's works ok....it would work better for something hollow like a cbg...but it's kinda a proff of concept type of thing that just hangs on the wall....as far as pld phones go on microphones Bob Log has his cool helmet phone mic setup he uses and it's really raspy. I have a old cb mic I wired to a jack so it could be used as a mic, but does not sound that great....good find though, it's always the small things that you discover that make you grin from ear to ear.

I'm a beginer, I'll get my Daughters boyfriend to do a quick video and i'll post it here. He actually had my CBG for the last 4 days. I just went and got it today to add the electrics to it. He'll have a blast with it now that we can HOOK IT UP!

I also discovered the same thing this past week. I was playing around with a microphone build following after (Low-Fi Mike for Harpin' & Winin' by werner) and found the same thing. I am playing around with an 8 ohm .25 speaker (very low, but not bad for sound) trying to make it into a microphone by simply attaching some wires to a 1/4 inch jack then attaching it to an AMP. I would think the same application could work as a another type of pick-up. I will actually try this out in the near future.
