Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I've tried it three times and it doesn't work!!!!! The instructions say to strip the wire on the pick up but it it so thin, is that my problem?

Can you elaborate on what exactly your science project is, and what specific problem you have? I don't quite understand.

Thanks!

well, I made the pickup and connected both leads to my guitar but we were getting no sound whatsoever

I see, alright, I don't know that much about guitar pickup problems, but here are some websites with troubleshooting info:

Can you give any other specifics that might help with a search for a solution? The brand, model, etc.?
Other than that, I don't know what else to say, sorry!
