Hi All,

I am just posting this in case anyone is interested:

I have just built a Fishman TSV Powerbridge into a 2017 Fender American Elite strat.
I was not sure if it will work, because this TSV type is a 2 stud version, which is ok, but it is for the Am. Standard series, and I did not know if the stud spacing, etc . is the same on the Elite.

So: It works, just a drop in.

Negative thing is that the powerchip and the battery does not fit, so i made a passive installation. I soldered a 470kOhm resistor in series with the powerbridge, now it has almost the same volume as the normal pickups.
(the piezo bridge was too loud without the resistor - Strange - because i thought it will be too silent - because the lack of the powerchip preamp)

And I resolderes some connections, so how it works now:

The "passing lane" pushpush switch switches to the piezo (there is no blend option) - and all the other controls work as before. Volume, and the S1 switch as well.

Here is a pic:
