Abstract: An electrical pickup includes a coil with windings terminating at winding ends. A coil mounting assembly includes telescopically innerconnected inner and outer tubes, the outer tube being adapted for mounting in the interior of a musical instrument body and the inner tube mounting the coil. A magnet assembly includes a magnet with opposite poles and a lens with a concavity for receiving the magnet. The lens is adapted for mounting on an interior of a panel of the instrument body in a position where a pole of the magnet is aligned with the coil. Electrical leads extend from the coil winding ends and may be connected to an amplifier.
