Lucky 13 Flat Pup -- Buy One Get One HALF OFF
$22.50
$30.00
In some builds it is preferred to place the pickup under the lid of the box, this practice is often referred to as "ghosting". Many builders have had good success using the MGB Mini Box Buckers for these applications. MGB is proud to introduce our new Lucky 13 flat pup designed for ghosting.
By adding more wire and strengthening the magnetic field we have a solid solution. These new pickups measure 13k ohms plus. We have found in testing that the pickups work well when the distance from the pickup to the strings is .5". Make sure the magnets face the strings.
Measuring 2.56" by 1.6" and .3" thick, these pickups can be used on 3,4 and 6 string builds. Works with our 6 string Boxbucker covers.

MGB 12 Inch Metal Sign Body
$45.00
This new body from MGB provides a perfect platform for building a cool round body instrument. The size works well with the very popular 12 inch round metal signs. The kit includes our new Maple Ring body, a top plate and a rear cover. (Neck and hardware are not included.) The kits comes in two sizes, the 11 inch includes an11 inch top plate that is exactly the same size as the ring, the 11.5 inch includes a 11 1/2 inch top plate that overhangs the body by 1/4 inch. Most 12 inch signs are not actually 12 inches; from experience we find they are actually 11 1/2 inches. We suggest you get your sign first and determine the size before you buy the body. Amazon and Ebay list a wide assortment of 12 inch signs as well as the smaller 8 inch signs
This body may provide a challenge on installing a neck. The body and or the neck will need to be fitted carefully to get the centerline of the neck to match with the center line of the body. For those using an Easy Neck let us know and we will provide a neck shim to aid in installing the neck.
There is a cut out on the top that allows the ghost mounting of a flat pup. The body is maple and the top and back plates are Birch plywood.
