John Nickel inspired CBG: disc piezo and 1-pole pickup with separate jacks. 20.1” scale length GDG. Alder neck, Lowe’s yardstick fretboard, Modge Podged fabric on body and headstock, 3D printed holders for T-pin frets. Single pole pickup goes to octave pedal and then to bass amp. It has that fat “John Nickel” sound! I put this build off way too long!!!

Thanks Dave! Yes the nail is sharp, but my playing style doesn’t put me in the danger zone. You are correct, a 3D printout holds the nail. I got smart and printed them with different heights and put them in an organizer box; it really simplifies the set up.
