Installing K&K Pure Mini and power for a Seymour Duncan Mag Mic - Making Trevor's Weissenborn 11

Note I have updated the name I'm building my guitars under. I have gone back to MCT Guitars. If you have any questions please feel free to hit me up at [email protected]

Thank you and enjoy!

I missed footage on milling the battery box but caught the glue up and routing of power for a Seymour Duncan Mag Mic Pickup. The battery box was relocated to up near the headstock and will live under a door that Trevor can get at without having to take off the strings. This makes removal of the battery for travel much easier (the battery is usually stuck inside the guitar somewhere with velcro). The power cord extension has connections on either side so I can install the battery box at the last minute and if the Mag Mic every has to be removed down the line it will be an easy quick disconnect. I’ll likely make Trevor another cord that is the size of the original since I have to do some snipping on the the Mag Mic setup. The power cord is held in place with some wood brackets with an open bottom so the cord could be pulled out if for some reason the pickup is no longer needed.

The K&K Pure Mini Installs super easily with gel CA glue (super glue) and some templates cut out on a home vinyl cutter. I locate the template on the top, stick some magnets in place, flip it over and drop three magnets on the bridge patch to get the precise location. Couldn’t be easier. I’ll wrap up and protect the endpin jack before the back goes on, as it will stay until the holes are drilled for installation after finish.

Next up, clean up on the back braces and installation of the back. It’s going to be a box soon!

Hit me up with questions in the comments. Thank you for stopping by!!!
