Cobain Custom Humbucker ring

Created custom humbucker ring with bottom of frame cut off with bandsaw. Drilled two holes for Univox baseplate screws. Added countersink using larger drill bit manually pressing into ring, trick I used when handmaking pickguards. Angled the 2 baseplate screws with Bass side lower a bit to match Cobain’s placement. Added green cutout for chiseling humbucker pocket. Will also need to add a small block of wood to humbucker cavity to support the top left humbucker screw. May adjust size of pocket. Looks like Cobain overcut the top part in the museum picture.

Took another picture with the guitar strings attached for better placement. Doing all this to be accurate and then when I assemble it’ll be off, lol. Measure, measure, measure, measure, cut…. should of measured once more… lmao. God hates me, doesn’t he?
