My first sewing machine bobbin pickup. Its un-potted and I kinda guessed at the amount of wraps, I didnt want to fill it up because I used rare earth magnets...

Cool Clark...its not rocket surgery, especially this style, and its a great addition to CBG, I actuall plan on placing this style between two strings, so two on a three string guitar. Check out pics of Johnny Lowebow's Hill Harp, you can google if you cant find him here, this is how he does it. Good luck, cant wait to see it.
Thanks Skeesix, the magnets I bought are 1/4" x 1/4" so with two in the bobbin center one is flush the other is proud approx 1/8" I did not know how it would work or sound if the magnet were not filling the hole, I used a hot glue gun, what are your thoughts about that?

Great work Brian! Did you get the magnets at RadioSnack?
