1. Piezo transducer of www.schattendesign.com. Most cheep pickup in stewmac.com.
2. Plan and test
1st plan before installing. Made new bridge/tailpiece plate because no magnetic pickup required. Install the transducer into new plate and body.
Testing; Transducer direction and new bridge/tailpiece plate thickness.
Testing; New bridge/tailpiece plate carving area.
Need small cavity on body top to reduce pressure to the transducer.
Testing; Covering around.
Reference; considering two transducers and the position however two transducers are not given much sound differences from one transducer's case.
Idea; Preparing kit for in case of piezo transducer or magnetic pickup.
Final plan for this moment;
3. Fitting; New bridge/tailpiece plate was made from spruce (Not finished yet)
One volume pot was wired.
Next; Finishing bridge/tailpiece plate.
4. Run for cover; attach sponge rubber as absorber where contact to body.
5. Memo for ground wire to bridge
Found information that adding ground wire on Les Paul® guitar such as Mr. John Sykes's Custom. Ground wire is exposed on body top.
