12 string Morris – Freshman Acoustic pickup and pre-amp

Rather than buy a whole new guitar if you want to plug your acoustic in, how about a Freshman Pickup and Pre-Amp?

That’s where the pre-amp has to go..

e-02

Double check I’ve got the measurements right for the hole…

This bit’s always a bit of a heart in the mouth moment, no going back now……

I’m using a Stanley hacksaw, nice fine teeth, held back to front so that it cuts on the push-stroke.  That way if any wood splits out it’ll be on the inside not the outside.

That’s about it, just a little bit of tidying up….

e-07

and there it is…

e-08The jack socket sits in the middle of the strap button on the back of the guitar.

The pickup sits under the bridge saddle..

And there it is.

A nice neat fix.
