Hound Dog Taylor / Kawai inspired box style swamp witch guitar .
Vintage 4 red pearloid pups are from a donor kawai , I wired it in a special way to enhance the front pickup and hush grounding the daisy chain to get a half piezo / microphonic and half mag pick up sound to emulate steel resos , yet have that vintage Teisco sound also .
(actually discovered this sound by accident years ago attempting to fix an old Teisco )
Hard to hear in this recording with the effects , but it has that metal ring and picks up wood tapping , etc..like a tru cone reso and similar to a piezo , but still held at bay when wanted . and if you crank it , that vintage loud Teisco moan and scream noisy in your face yumyums will be unleashed .
I am in love with this thing , but , I made it to sell , so have at it . first $400 takes it .

Vintage Carved wood top box comes with old key to open .
Bridge is the piece of the carved box frame I cut out for the neck .

just how it worked out  .  i had no concerns  of matching to the poles   cause  the mag field radiates outwards and it really does not matter  much   they will still pick up  the string even between the poles  .  even  the slant on the  front 2  pups is factory to  the plate   behind  it  . so    it was not  slanted   by   me for that reason either  .

Oh yeah, I also meant to say that it seems like 3 strings over a 6 pole pup works real good. It looks like the strings were carefully placed very nearly directly over 3 of the poles. Or was that just how it worked out?
