chummy Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Dear All for my sins, I'm afraid I play 5 string banjo. After much nagging from my wife, I am attempting to build a sweeter sounding instrument. Not wishing to learn guitar, I would like to fit a 5 string banjo neck to a solid guitar type body. I have built the neck, the body I have yet to make. The neck has 25 frets with a 32 inch scale. (Pete Seegar long neck). The distance from the last fret to the bridge is 7 inches. The whole exercise is for an electric guitar sound. If anyone has information re. a pickup for a 5 string instrument I would be very grateful.

westhemann Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 any pickup with blade polepieces would work fine. for example...duncan dimebucker or emg 81/85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
