CBGitty Gold Foil pickup
Started this discussion. Last reply by Wayfinder Oct 23, 2015. 1 Reply 0 Likes
I recently finished a 2 string slider. I took apart a Gitty gold Foil pickup and mounted the coil in the lid. The coil is only a 1/4" thick and fit nicely in the lid, and sandwiched it between 2…Continue

"Doc, A little while back I made another with a similar setup, except I used different pickups, a humbucker at the neck and a single coil at the bridge. The effect is more pronounced. 3rd instrument down on this page. http://bscbg.com/for-sale. take…"

2 pickups 2 volume pots
I recently finished a 3 stringer with 2 pickups controlled by 2 volume pots,instead of a 3 way switch.Thanks to David L.for telling me about this idea (Stracciatella Mod). I used the coils from 2 Gitty Gold Foil pickups.Diodes are soldered between each pot and the jack. Instead of soldering my grounds to the back of the pots, I flattened a piece "tin" from a can and mounted the pots thru the metal and tied all the grounds together with a bolt. It made a nice clean connectionJust realized the…See More

CBGitty Gold Foil pickup
I recently finished a 2 string slider. I took apart a Gitty gold Foil pickup and mounted the coil in the lid. The coil is only a 1/4" thick and fit nicely in the lid, and sandwiched it between 2 pieces of a cut up sesame oil can from work. There was a bit of feedback at first so I took it apart and put a strip of electrical tape on both sides of the coil, that cut out most of the feedback. It is some what microphonic but not to bad. I grounded the pieces of can, very quite no string buzz. The…See More

Thanks for a link to your page, and the comments Jeff. Your coffee can resonators are just the push I needed for my next step.

Hey Jeff. I will take some sound bites on Tuesday when I get back into the classroom. We have Zoom mics that are will render the sound better than my iphone. I have to say that my 4-stringer, an Ashton Churchill box, has a nice rich and warm sound that is pretty decent in volume. The no. 6 boxes are very quiet. I have built three CBGs using those boxes and put piezo pickups into all of those.
BTW your diddley bow looks way cool.
Cheers.
