Pure random chance

 

The real point of this little experiment is the four little pogo connectors at the bottom with two small (but rather powerful) magnets on the sides. Just seeing if it's feasible to change pickups easily and quickly. Using a guitar pickup as slightly easier to play with. There's the other side of the pogo pickup fixed to a body of a guitar.

 

The three black socket caps raise the pickup up and down. There's nothing too clever there.

 

What this experiment has shown me is that these pickups are so sodding thin, it's really difficult to get them high enough, so this design needs adaptation to be able to handle thin pickups. Humbuckers are not an issue. The grey one in the middle is an a\ctual 3d scan of a humbucker. You can see the tape around the body.
