Soundhole Humbucker
paulmcevoy75
Portland, MaineNew
I have had this idea floating around for years and finally got it wired up. Please ignore the playing.
I got the idea from talking to Edouard Pennes in Paris who said my big sound hole might be hard to amplify so I thought I could fill it to cut down on the resonance. I have been interested in what a regular humbucker would sound like in one of my guitars. I think it sounds pretty decent. There's a buzzing because I don't have the fun tack in there that will hold it in place. I haven't adjusted it at all, this was just to see if it works. I think it's a go.
I'm working on wiring it up with those little archtop volume and tone controls that will be in the soundhole.
The new version has clearance for the controls.

It sounds good 👍
Paul knows how to make a killer guitar!
The single note lines sounds very clean and good! The rhythm examples do not however as they are not clean as the chord notes are "muddied" together and are not a good rhythm GJ style with this! Good work and effort on you for your luthier guidance and experiments. Maybe try a different pu as I found that my humbucker style pu sounded great on my Busato but were crap on my Favino style with the different bridge not at the high point of the sound board. Good work Paul!
Geez my playing is rotten here. I tried to delete it. I'll have to make a better demo video at some point.
I actually liked it for rhythm, warm and chunky.
Your rhythm is not bad. But the recording has too hot signal boost and makes mud of the rhythm support! That's the the way I hear it !
It's just a phone recording 1 minute after I plugged it in, I was just excited that it worked.
Good idea! Very cool.
The playing is fine really. I'd change a setting or two on the amp - but sounds great man! Will the new design have a volume pot or something??
I love this, huge fan of buckers.
I'm working on putting archtop volume and tone wheels in the soundhole.
