Thanks AGP! After further playing the longer scale length sounds better, but the strings are still settling down on the shorter one, so I will need to play it some more. The tonal characteristics of the weedwacker string make it sound kinda like you are playing a muted bass line as you strum.

"Cool Couple of Builds Doug", and Wow! Pick, where on Earth did you get that idea from, I've been saving the springs from old Biro's for years, and I do have a Weed Whacker One String Gourd Diddley, that wil now have a Mag Pup added to it, hope it works ??  ;-)

Cool. ..... Heres a lil tip for ya ..  for  a one stringer weed whacker guit . Take the little spring out of a click pen . and slip it onto the weedwhacker line .   Then you can use it with a mag pickup . just place it over the pickup area ..  . You may need  to crimp the edges to make it stay , depending on your string gauge  . makes a cool lil base  type onestringer .
