I decided to do an electric washboard build just for fun. I used a magnetic pickup to electrify the steel grate. It works really well and is less prone to feedback than a piezo.

Thanks Pick, Dave, Henry, and Buggy. I'd be happy to collaborate if you're interested Buggy.

Well thought out build Poorness, good choice with the Mag Pup and Vol Tone Pots, love the different options they provide, sounds fine unplugged, but even better when Amped! :-)

It sounds really good, especially through that amp. A clacking good job!
