I call this thing the book diddley bow, or book bow. Definitely the weirdest instrument I have yet made! First time I have ever made my own magnetic pickup. I should credit Jerryrig240, whose youtube videos inspired me to make a pickup like this.

bloody hell-no way did I expect it to sound like it did-superb bass tone-I mean really superb.Loved the whole English intellectual subplot-the posh accent,the dictionary..like it should have been played on a punt whilst wearing a stripey blazer-wicked!!

Ridiculous? Yes. Incredibly awesome? HELL YES! I really love that instrument, it's too cool.

And if ya ever go back in time to 1965, you'll be set. :-)

It's not a novel, it's a 1965 Oxford University Calendar!

Cool....did you watch my video's? or did you come up with the pickup idea yourself. If not, I am glad that I am srpeading the gospel of cheap pickups from junk.
