The build has just begun so I'm gna experiment with a few 6 pick-up arrangements. I'm thinking the same thing - different pedals. Wouldnt even matter about the over spill from the other strings. That would just add to the effect. As its a lap slide there's a big gap between the body and the strings so I'm hoping to use this space to control any unwanted feed back.

Cheers for the replies: My reasoning is purely experimental. I'm building a lap slide gtr and wanted to make it more 'psychedelic' than 'country'. I've got more than enough space in the body design to set the pick ups in a 2 - 1 - 2 - 1 configuration. (say one under the E & A/ one under G, one under B & E, and one under D. I'm expecting some interesting results with 6 outs running into Logic8, via an 8 in interface, being separately effected n panned. I'm also interested in what results I'll obtain strumming in directly over each pick up area. I would like to think that each pick up would not only detect its own string but may produce some ambience from the strings near it?

I know this might come across a bit lame to some but here goes. I'm building an experimental guitar and being a bit of a layman in these matters have a few technical queries: 1)Instead of having a pick up in its normal position i.e. vertically picking up all strings, could I run it horizontally under a single string. What I need to know is what effect this may have on the string. Will it be to powerful and distort or feedback, or will it work. I'm looking at having a pick up on each string with 6 outs from the guitar. 2)If above is not an option are there any other ways of creating/using some form of pick up on individual strings. I realise this all sounds a bit vague but if anyone can give me some advice it would be much apreciated. cheers
