Step 3Measuring the pickup spot.
Now to make the diffuser.
You will need to measure the size of the hole in order to make the right sized diffuser and circuit.
In case you don't have any clear plastic pieces laying around, who does?, use an old plastic bin and cut your pieces out of it, that's how i made mine.
Now check the size to make sure it fits snugly into the hole. If all goes as planned put scotch tape on top of the plastic, I found around 4 layers gives the best effect, this helps the light spread evenly around the surface of the pickup and not just towards the center.

That way you don't even have to use a diffuse panel and the pickups should fit much better, at least on my Ibanez RG-370. In Europe you get 50 for 7 €.
Instead of the reed switch I will simply let two bits of wire out of the backpanel of the guitar.
