monkey69962000 Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 i was woundering how do i put in a electronic system in a acoustic guitar. I just want to know the wiring and where on the guitar it is placed. And what parts are involved. Just curious how it works with the 3 tone switch thingy on the side.

Boggs Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 There are several types. The one I just installed into the Giannini referenced elsewhere has a microphone, an under-saddle piezo pickup, and a blending pre-amplifier which gets mounted to the side of the guitar. This requires a hole to be made in the bottom of the saddle slot to feed the wire from the piezo, a hole in the end block for the 1/4" jack, and a hole to be cut into the side of the guitar to mount the pre-amplifier/control unit. A simple under-saddle piezo without preamp would still need the 2 holes at the saddle slot for the piezo wire and the end block for the jack.
