LOVE your stuff Man!
But, is it "Be still, Roy"? (as in a command to a noisy "Roy")
-or-
is it "Best Illroy"? (to distinguish from some lesser "illroys")

hi r2 the pickups are made by my friend dave leddin in british columbia can 5.75 k alnico formavar 57 strat spec wound or any kind i want
I got some from him too, I looked at 'em for a while, my kid picked one and that's where i'm at right now. Should have the lacquering done tonight. Makin' noise tomorrow.
Hey beStillroy, a while back you were tryin' to get me to put a vid together. Well I think I found the song to cover, just gotta work on some composition for it. Check it, I think you'll like it.
hi thanks for your interest.I had not thought about selling the banjo but let me think on.It does play it is quiet qnd surprisingly soft toned.It also has a very cheap piezo pup glued under the soundtin when that is plugged in it changes to a metallic banshee - all good fun.Hoping to record a sound bite soon and will post.

well if ya need a suggestion you have ta send the pup to me to investigate the possibilities haaaaaaaaaa,just kidding. for a wound pickup i like them closer to the bridge than the neck but you get lots of warmth closer to the neck,its just that to me you can get more growl and sustain closer to the bridge. so if i,m putting one in a cigar box guitar that i would play, i think i would have it just a little bit off center with it closer to the bridge than the neck. just remember---neck warmer---bridge growl sustainer---middle=somewhere in-between.
thanks fer putting the nobody resonator build video in the 3 string group bestillroy i appreciate that it was good timing and good measure on your part. thanks again sir.
Thank you beStillroy for your comment. Happy Halloween. If I didn't get right on it, making this holiday video now, how fast time flies, it would be Xmas. LOL Enjoy.
