Great sound quality
I was surprised by how clear the high end sounds on this budget pickup. It handles slide playing very well without getting muddy.

Good value, clear instructions needed
The components are solid for the price. I wish it came with a diagram, but if you know basic soldering, it's a breeze to install.

Knobs feel a bit cheap
The wiring works fine and the pickup is decent, but the plastic knobs feel a little flimsy compared to metal ones. Still functional though.

Perfect for my cigar box build
This wiring set made finishing my homemade three-string guitar so much easier. The pots feel smooth and the pickup has a nice warm tone without too much hum.

Easy installation for beginners
As someone new to guitar electronics, this kit was straightforward. The wires are long enough to maneuver inside the small body cavity.

Exactly what I needed
Fit perfectly into my pre-routed hole. The volume taper is linear which I prefer for this style of instrument. Highly recommend.
Q: Is the output jack mounted on the plate or separate?
A: The output jack is a separate component included in the box, allowing you to mount it wherever fits best on your instrument body.
Q: Does this kit include the pickup itself or just the knobs and wire?
A: Yes, this kit includes the three-string single coil pickup, two potentiometers (volume and tone), knobs, wire, and an output jack.
Q: What type of solder do you recommend for installation?
A: We recommend using standard rosin-core electronics solder (60/40 tin-lead or lead-free) with a temperature-controlled iron around 350°C.
Q: Can I use this on a standard 6-string guitar?
A: No, this pickup is specifically designed and spaced for three-string instruments like cigar box guitars. It will not cover all strings on a standard guitar.
Q: Does this produce a lot of background noise?
A: As a single-coil pickup, some minor hum is normal, especially near fluorescent lights or computers. However, it is shielded to minimize interference.
