lazarusvt84 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 My son was given this guitar today by an elderly friend belonging to her late husband. It's clearly homemade and of crude/primitive construction. I'm curious about the pickups...which work and seem to be of the transducer variety. The top of the pup is a piece of thin plastic. The bottom is simply a solid piece of wood. In between is a thin white plate (bound by black) with a wire that goes to the pots. No coils. The two screws simply go through the pup and into the block of wood attached to the body. I know it's not much info...and I can take apart further if none of you folk can identify it by what I've shown. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
