Thank you Brian.
License plates are aluminum, which is non magnetic? So, no?
I have a few license plates that I hope become CBGs at some point. Not wanting to spoil the top, I will be ghosting a magnetic pickup underneath. A faily hot thin one or maybe a GItty Bomb. :)
Would the metal in the plate not interfere with the magnetic field of the pick up?
you can use a magnetic pick-up (p-bass/humbucker/single coil etc) or a piezo or both, switched or not, it's up to you,
to get some idea's just look at completed No-plate CBG's,
