Thanks, that helps a lot.

When my wife and I first got together some 25 years ago, I didn't have a guitar. I had lost them in a divorce. When she found out that I played, she bought me one for father's day. It was a laminate Oscar Schmidt OG 2, which I still have. We added a under saddle pickup so I could play at church, but the sound was bad. Real bright, no lows. Even an acoustic amp didn't help much. So I bought another guitar. Now I have several. But now to the point of my post. I want to add a preamp/eq and was given a good quality unit that requires a hole to be cut in the body. I've seen several videos about it and they have shown several ways to cut the hole. I just wanted to get other opinions on the best way to do this. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that I am new to this forum. Hello from Chinchula AL.

The guitar is a Yamaha Pacifica and the bridge is a strat style tremelo. I put the pickup directly under the saddles. It works very well, but, it raised the action. It doesn't affect the intonation thankfully. I was wondering though, where would be the best place to put piezo discs should I decide to go with them. I can get a prewired set with tone and volume controls for about $10. Wondering about a preamp too. I'm going through an experimental stage and gathering information.

I'm wanting to install an acoustic pickup on one of my solid body electric guitars with a strat style body. I have an under saddle pickup from an acoustic guitar and have placed it under the string saddles. It sounds good but is causing a problem with string height. All this being said, I now have a few questions. 1. Should I go with this type of pickup, only thinner? 2. Would a piezo disc type pickup mounted to the body give a comparable response and sound? And 3. Should I just buy a magnetic acoustic pickup and mount it under the strings between the other pickups. Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.
