Always remember that sound/tone results vary according to the user. We all have different ideas of what is good or bad. So you get ideas about things, but you have to try them to find out if you like it or not and you may get different results in different guitars.

Here's the pictures that I promised. As you can see, it is just quick and dirty construction.

 The disks marked P are in parallel and the ones marked S are in series. The toggle switch selects one or the other, or both.

When the box is closed and plugged into an amp, it makes a good pickup for acoustic instruments. I put the but end of my canjo on it and played it like a stand-up bass. Sounded pretty good. It also sounded good when I layed a ukulele on it and played do-bro style. But the best sound was when I put a kalimba on top.

I'm betting it would work well with a lap harp too.

That's cool and a good idea.
