Lucky 13 Flat Pup
$15.00
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.
