Cobain Univox Pickup Clone 1.9 @ 2.93kHz

Successful clone of Kurt’s Univox Phase III pickup. Resonant frequency closely matched. The Donlis Alnico magnets were pretty strong at around 700 with slugs at 270. The magnets from Philadelphia luthier were only maxed at about 600. This is going into Cobain Mustang #1 mustang v3. I will cut the bottom part of humbucker ring and align it the way he had. This is the same 50mm spacing on original Univox, so the placement of treble strings will not line up at all. He also tilted the bass strings more towards bridge. Will try to align as much as I can. This time I’ll have to angle the whole pickup instead of angling from humbucker ring wholes. Can’t wait to hear this.
