Steve Soar at it again. Five string magic in a 4 string can.
From Steve:
"Here's a pix of the idea. Regular magnet in there for comparison. I'll
probably bring the wires out in the middle of the coils rather than at
the end to leave more room for windings there"
Sitting on the strings is a stock ThunderBucker (vintage Gibby sized) magnet. Below that is a proto magnet and milled forbon bobbin plates in a standard can.
The result:
" I built a copy of the 63N, and ear test says
it sounds close enough. The L is higher and so is the R because of
more wire for the same number of turns, but not enough to matter it
seems. I tested for sensitivity over width, and it reaches about
71mm VS the standard which is only about 60mm."
He sent it to me and I put it into the mule with stretched string spacing, 19mm (total 3 inches).
Full coverage from top to bottom!
Gonna pop it into this after I finish it and hopefully do a sound sample.
"Doghair" finish , drywall mud rubbed into ebonized oak veneer.
Also shipped this Royal Crown Purple Metallic RR last week.

Customer didn't tell me she tunes down a half step. I should have guessed, she plays metal. Nut needed to be higher and she replaced it herself. My kind of customer.
