nice? what kind of pickup is that?

@gageman70 Thanks for the comment. It's a jazz minihumbucker. They're designed to be stuck onto archtop jazz guitars.  I don't use them so much anymore because you can't adjust the height on them but they have a fantastic sound and I'll still put them on a guitar every so often.

That looks awesome! Isn't is G tuning?

Heehhe, no idea. I just tighten up those string thingies until it sounds about right to me.

@gayouj cool! it seems to have a really punchy sound, no pun intended haha. im working on my first cbg that im using a piezo in it because i dont really know what im doing, but on my next one i want to use a nice, but cheap, pickup for real guitars...do you have any suggestions? im shopping around on ebay for cheap catalog guitar pickups from the 60s and 70s like teisco, silvertone etc but any other suggestions are appreciated :)
