Sounds like crap compared to a factory pickup for $30 - $40. Why bother?

@yumyumfruitstripe Thanks. I mean to wrap it up with electrical tape. This just ensures that all the wires won't short out if something metal touches them. Also, since the coil wires are really fine, taping it all up helps provide some strain relief so you won't snap them if you accidentally tug on the output wires you solder to the coil.

I can't play at all but I just built a CBG and I'm gonna do this.Thanks for the video.I have a Radio Shack peizo where did you put your peizo?

@hotmetaljr I put the Piezo right under the bridge. I just glued it in place with super glue. I tried several locations, but I got the best tone/volume when gluing it right under the bridge. Good luck!
