<p>Hi T-Gripped</p>
<p>If you dont want to make a drum just replace it with a thick ply disc.</p>
<p>For mounting the pickup you could just add a recessed block to the neck like on Yorrick here.…<a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10972873499?profile=original" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img class="align-full" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10972873499?profile=RESIZE_710x"></img></a> <a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10972873873?profile=original" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img class="align-full" src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10972873873?profile=RESIZE_710x"></img></a></p>

<p>Taffy--Thanx for checking in!! I have not yet attempted any construction... still cogitating. The neck-build-up pix that Michael Fred Johnson posted are helpful.</p>
<p>I am not really wanting to build a separate drum however. And I'm still a bit fuzzy on how to attach the hubcap to the neck. </p>
<p>Currently planning to mount a single coil pup to the neck. </p>
