Very cool John! I would love to see and hear a video of it being played. I hope you keep up the very imaginative work.

Don;

Each pick up is wound to ~ 2,000 ohms. In series, they total 14.3K ohms. The neodymium magnets are .25″ in diameter and .5″ in length (the full depth of the bobbins). There is also a bottom steel plate connecting all the pick ups (ala telecaster). The pickups are 11 mm from the string bottoms. 3 mm of wood and 8 mm of air.

Thanks.

John

What a beautiful instrument! I have a question about the pickups. Do you know the ohms of them and did you use magnets the full depth of the bobbin? Also how close are the pups to the strings? The time was very well spent on your creation.
Warm regards, Don Thompson
