Anyone do this? ...use an Altoid cover for a pickup cover?
I plan to ground the cover and put a flat pickup underneath it. Should allow me to keep the neck-thru as thick as possible... see below for photo of the flat pickup.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll build this one as soon as I'm done with the Aroma De Cuba guitar. Just trying to get the pup finished for it so I can go straight to work on the neck.
This how I am thinking of doing the neck. Layer two pieces of poplar and trim a little off both to slide into the box...
Good luck and happy building!
Nice. Haven't used a mint tin for pup cover, but I have built a git w/ one of those yellow MC boxes. Just enough room for neck, since it's rather shallow inside, perhaps 3/4" to 7/8", so flat pup is perfect choice.
Cool idea. Very interested to see/hear the results!
