    Nice job. Is that the design from Stew Mac? What kind of magnet?

    • Bruce Ferrero > Skeesix October 15, 2012 at 4:26pm

      yes I used Stewmac's instruction and got the parts from Ebay, http://stores.ebay.com/Addiction-FX-Guitar-and-Sound?_rdc=1 .

      used his alnico 5 magnet and cut in half.  I am potting it right now and will through together a test mule soon.

        I mounted it in a guitar and it sounds a lot like the p90 I have in my electric guitar.  I made another and got 7000 winds on it, I can't tell the difference in sound between it and the first with 6000 winds on it.  They both sound great, no feedback like the piezo in my first two CBGs.

        How and what did you use to cut the magnet?

        • Bruce Ferrero > TruckDrivingFool October 27, 2012 at 3:33pm

          I used a Dremel cut off wheel and cut a little at a time letting the magnet cool between cuts.  Tried to use a hacksaw, but the magnet is too hard for that, just skidded across the steel.

            Cool I like the way you've put it together. I'll have to try that in my next Humbucker attempt.
