Roundhole Pickup-Mounting Rig

Here's an old Acoustic Guitar, brought to me by The Rumblestrips to have a P-90 fitted with an integral Volume Control.

Part of the brief was to avoid making any unneccesary holes in the guitar. I mounted the Pickup onto a clear plate, which itself is fitted to the guitar without requiring any structural alteration!

The Volume control and pot are housed in a hand-made metal box, providing excellent shielding and rigidity.The knob is mounted sideways so as not to protrude and interfere with playing technique, and is operated by a simple thumb roller-action.

Quiet an interesting guitar, made by Harmony, but rebranded a 'Fender' by the Sales dept., I'm guessing this was in the late '60s, after Leo had left the building!
