??msp_confused.gif??msp_confused.gif??msp_confused.gif 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.

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...

Yes. It clamps onto the strings behind the bridge, so genuinely floats. I've also tried the truss rod and it works fine.
