Just a quick little build to test my pickups. The slotted design makes it quick and easy to change pickups or move them from the neck to the bridge.....never have to mess with the setup ;-)

Great idea Rooster! And fine job building it, I'm with Brian on the quality of the build!

Thanks guys.……….the pickup in the pic spec'ed @ 8000wraps of 42awg and 2.98KOhm's. Sounds really good in the neck position but really came alive when I moved it to the bridge. Very much like a vintage tele bridge sound from the 50's ;-)

A very neat and refined testing tool.

What a brilliant idea Rooster! Very cool, and so beautifully made....man, I'd be chuffed to bits with that for an instrument, never mind as a pick up tester!! Really impressed, and glad to see the pickup builds are going well....well done, I like your style!!
