Guitar pickup and system for testing the same

摘要

A system is configured to test a pickup on a guitar without soldering the pickup to the guitar. The system includes an inverted pickup mechanically coupled to pickup wires. A testing system is connected to the inverted pickup and includes a base plate configured to accommodate the inverted pickup proximate strings on the guitar. Two leveling rods are configured to be threaded through the base plate and inserted through a pickup mounting plate while being immediately adjacent to the guitar on one end. A circuit board is attached to the base plate and configured to be electrically coupled to the pickup wires. The circuit board further comprises a phone jack which is configured to be electrically coupled to an amplifier. The amplifier emits sound which can be used to test the inverted pickup.
