LarryUK Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Bought this Eko 100 from a local ad today. I want to identify the pickup. It's a Hofner. But what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 ?????? Does it work? I've not tried it yet. But it will work when I've sorted it. I've found what the pickup is. It's a 'monkey on a stick' pickup. I'd not heard of them before.But it seems they're collectable. pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatile Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I've been looking for one of these for about 20 yrs.....:blink: The 'monkey on a stick' was invented to allow full acoustic archtop guitars....mostly jazzers....to be 'electrified'..... The idea was that it could be mounted and demounted as required Quite crude, but a piece of history no less... V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also tried the truss rod and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
