Due to the back angle on this build, I needed to extend the range of the bridge pickup - I did this by gluing an extra piece of wood on top and sticking some 1/4" ball bearings over the poles. Will it work? I'll have to wait and see.

You've got it there Rob - this is the first time I've gone out of my comfort zone in a while and I loved it. I need to force myself to innovate more.

What a great idea. My favorite part of building is the problem-solving and innovation aka trial and error.

Absolutely, let me know when you have unpacked enough boxes...I may even be halfway through my build by then!

Cheers Kev. I'm sure he will be hanging out with Guy Garvey somewhere... we're about due another pint when I'm settled eh?

My wife is sat next to me and I said "check out these pickups", and she said "Wow!" High praise indeed. And then she said, "What's a pickup?" They look great, sure they will sound it too.
