Fishman Piezo for Telecaster.

Like I said, my band mates call me "Macgyver".

I got the bridge, and installed it. I am going to have to install a pre-amp, though. It sounds good the way it is but it is "thin". I used the guitar at church and afterward, people were coming up and asking me where the acoustic was because they could hear it but couldn't see it. One of the problems is that with the piezo, I can't use the magnetic pickups at the same time. The guitar now has a stereo output jack and I would need a splitter cable with two separate inputs on the amp, or two amps. The pre amp will allow me to mix the signals without all that mess. I'm actually pretty happy so far. I expected to have to play with it before it will be what I'm looking for. I eventually want to be able to use both pickups at the same time and mix the signals.

I'm doing this with my Fender Squier CV Tele. I've had to drill a few holes and alter the "through body" string holes a bit so the bridge will mount properly and intonation will be accurate. I wouldn't try this with an American made Tele. This CV is really a nice guitar and I value it as a playing instrument but I didn't pay much ($350.00) and it's safe enough to experiment with.

I'm not done yet.

PLAY ON!
