My next build: a 2-stringer with two pickups, one for each string. They should work together (simple connected or via blender) to one output jack and (maybe switchable) as two individual pickups with separate output jacks (connected t

This isn't a comparison of those differences. But the video attached

Hello All,
This may not be a CBG for this group, but I didn't get much from the other appropriate group. I came across a circuit board and speaker from a Fender Mini Amp. I thought I could just wire up a 9 volt batter clip, connect the speaker and aw
Hi folks, I had an idea the other day and, knowing very little about the electronic side of things so far, I was after an opinion as to whether it would work. Trying to think of a cool look for self wound 3 or 4 pole pickups, I wondered about having
