My brass covered pup is lower. About 3/16 lower than the fretboard and works loud and proud.

Hey Dave, the flatpup I have is brass covered. How much lower than the strings do you mean? ie: if I mount it in the neck position just after the last fret, should the pup be flush with the fretboard?

Monterey, i've got several Elmar pups on box guits i've made. Mine work good lower down from the strings. They are hot little devils and very good in my opinion. I like my metal covered unit the best as i can't strike the pickup. You'll love yours i bet. I've asked Tony about the door washer. He has two so i think i can get you one. He didn't know what to charge. So that slowed things up. I'll ask again this evening when he comes over.

Thanks Uncle- going to mount it just after the last fret in the neck position even with the fretboard then

It is about even with the finger board.   I think you have to be moderately close to the strings, but not so close the strings or pick will strike it.

Hey Uncle, so do you mount the Elmar pickup flush with the fretboard? I'm going to use one on the Mountain Dulcimer

Thanks, M.  I think it's a pretty good match.

That is a real nice looking guitar, Uncle! The box is really classy, it looks like it belongs with the fretboard and the flatpup

Sounds purty good too, Dave.  Thanks!

Bring on the funk Uncle. Looks just right.
