This one is for a friend of mine. He got it without a pickup, pickguard and someone neatly plugged the holes for the pots. Guessing they wanted an acoustic and ditched the electronics.

For the pickup I went with 1/4″ slug magnets, the originals had adjustable pole pieces. I made the guard and pickup cover out of celluloid sheet. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

In the short clip it’s going through my BR-3. I have the tone on the guitar rolled way back and the treble up on the amp. The high end sounds very George Barnes-ish to me. If only I could play like him!
