I started my second build last night.
I picked up the following materials
Poplar : 1/4"x8"x4'
Poplar : 1/4"x2"x4'
Poplar : 1/4"x3"x4'
Poplar : 1"x2x4"
I cut the desired lenghts that I wanted to make. Which was a box with
7-1/4"x10"x3"H

ContinueHey Loco - good to hear from you!
The pickup works just fine. I used electric guitar strings. As to alignment - the neck is aligned to the body, the 3 strings are aligned to the neck, and the pickup is centred on the box. End result is the outside elements of the pickup aren't positioned near any strings and likely don't pickup much if anything. You should not have any problem using them on a four stringer. As always, your choice on the width of the neck to position them strings exactly where you want them relative to the little silver dots on the pickup.
I have seen some builds where the pickup was put a slant to have all the strings on a 4 strings positioned over the whole pickup - if you don't mind the looks.
Hope this helps.
Hey thanks Loco.
