About: I'm a Harmonica Playin' fool! I build my own amps and effects, and I do lot's of the DIY stuff. I also build and play cigar box guitars, play ukulele, blues guitar, melodica, and drums, and I beatbox a bit too…
In this video, I show how you can easily make a magnetic coil pickup for your Cigar Box Guitar from the coil in an easy to find 12volt "wallwart" transformer. The tone is great, and the output is high. The process is relatively easy, but involves using sharp implements. Please be careful! I am not responsible if you hurt yourself while attempting this!
