I put all the electronics in myself with no help.it is one tele bridge pickup and volume.I got the pickup used for $20.made a little clamp out of craft sticks.I love how I can put it on bottom or top because it greatly changes the sound.I even made a ground wire to go to the bridge. :wink: It sounds like no other acustic I have ever heard. It is a great little mod and is highly sugested. :wink: So tell me what you think.GOOD OR BAD I'M ALL EARS!! :D

What you are doing here is interesting super kid. I bought myself a cheap acoustic-electric guitar last summer to do exactly the same thing, modding and learning throught experimentation. Didn't spend a lot of time on it yet, but maybe this summer. So far I lowered the action and converted it to an open G axe. Keep us posted on your mods.

Cool.

I think most people would freak if this was an expensive guitar, but as it doesn't appear to be, I think that actually adds to its appeal.

Nice to see people still experiment.

Bottomline is--do you like it?

then cool.

Hi super kid: I think interesting sounds are to be had from magnetic pickups on acoustic guitars. Now you can learn to do this:

Very cool, my man--you are a budding legend. 8)

I like move-ability of the pickup because of your mounting clip...

You've reinvented the hollow-body electric guitar! :D

What sort of feedback do you get with your amp cranked?
