I am about to make my first cigar box guitar. I have the Box. Going to get the neck wood during the week probably. I'm wondering about the pickup. I've read that I need to geat a Radio Tranducer and wire it to a jack. I know nothing about wiring so I have no idea what any of that means. Does anybody know where I can get one in Dublin, or if thats even what I need.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ciarán.

What you need is a piezo transducer, you can buy them in Maplins or Radionics.
