ToneMonkey Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Following on from Jehle's awesome creations, I thought I'd have a bash at knocking up a CBG. Unfortunately I still can't get on to any sites to host pics, so the easiest way for me to show you guys is for you to click on the link below (where someone has alrady posted the pics for me - cheer WezV). You can see my comments about it in the first post. http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/...pic.php?t=13066 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyManAndy Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Excellent! I hope to make one of these eventually. It's too bad that they have to put those massive stickers on tobacco products in the U.K. CMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanthus Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I lik the vibe you have going on with this. What type of pickup is that? A homemade hum out of two singles, looks like. Is it me, or do the strings rub against the edge of the bridge and the cigar box? Is this a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToneMonkey Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 At the minute the strings do slightly touch the box, but the bridge has to be raised as the action is very low (waiting until it's wired before I set it all up properly as I have to take the neck off again) - which is one of the reasons that the bridge posts as still sticking up so much. Once it's raised there should be no problems.... but at the minute, it has no noticable effect. You’re right, the HB is two single coils duct taped together. One of the SC’s was held together with masking tape so I decided to continue the theme. They look really old and they’re so big and fat that I could resist making a HB out of them.
