Thanks for the replies. I have switched mics and am not sure where to hook up the postive and negative wires to a 1/4" stap-jack. Does anyone know where I can find a schematic for a 1/4" Strap-Jack? Thanks..... still pursisting

I am attempting to build a pick-up for my Norman acoustic guitar. On someonelse's idea, I am taking a condensor mic for a PC ( same mic that is in a tuner) and attaching it to a 1/4 jack. I don't seem to get any sound- surprise!!!! DO I need to run a pre-amp? A friend of mine used an old mic from his kids stero, and just soldered it to the jack and presto, it sounds awesome, no pre amp. Thanks for any imput
