Inexpensive removable pickup for acoustic guitar

Nizhny,

How are you at DIY type stuff? I've been thinking about giving this a try......
There are other variations of this on Youtube

In that situation, I'd try to find a used Markley

Got it, thanks.

Unfortunately I'm not good at that. I don't even trust myself adjusting the truss rod, let alone soldering.

I have seen a few 'ready to use' piezo PU's like this on ebay for pretty cheap. Might not be great, but DIY one in the video didn't sound too bad.

No, it cost more than that! Actually, I didn't find those on eBay for that little. But if you consider shipping fees, it's still much for recording a guitar that cost less than 100 (and a player that's worth even less!).

I chose Thoman-UK because it's in English, they have European locations, too.
