I think my nail pickups are a totally new design. I don't ever remember seeing anything remotely similar. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Ah!!  JP can make a line of Soundspindles.   Wasp, HoneyBee,  etc. can be the models.

Comment by Seaman Jay on July 2, 2012 at 12:20pm

actually it resembles a spindle... Soundspindle?

Simple yet impressive. Update to electric in seconds. Basic tools required.

I'm very grateful for everyone's feedback!   LOL, getting a kick out of the naming options! 

Tor, it does look wasp like!

Dave, I'm glad you totally get my design letting it all hang out!  You've probably noticed by now that I prefer the rustic look!   I thought it would be cool and it's nice to find others who agree.

John, I think it sounds pretty darn good considering I did exactly opposite of what most pickup builders recommended!

Thanks Pick, glad you like it.

Elmar, thanks again for the inspiration!

LOL, Sweet.

Or Honey Bee. The wire looks like honey.

Comment by Uncle John on July 2, 2012 at 9:11am

LOL!!!!  Tor is right.  Swenson's Stinger!

I love the fact that it's all in one gizmo. The jack pup and stand are all in one package. With a diddley bow it's nice to see all the workings too. And it's a thing of beauty to us pup heads...

 I agree with Uncle John,to me it looks like a "wasp"! Really cool!! :-)

Comment by Uncle John on July 2, 2012 at 12:20am

JP, I sure like the looks of that.   How's it sound?
