My mandolin came with a pick up that was supposed to be installed, but it came loose in shipping. I have it in at the luthier this week for some set up/buzzing correction issues, and I asked him if he could fix the pick up. He said probably so, but that Eastman might do it for free (but I would need to pay shipping to/fro and have the mando out of hand for a while, and no guarantee it wouldn't happen again in transit).
It got me thinking though. I am a dreadful player, so I will not be playing in front of people for years to come, if ever. So, I was wondering if I need a pick up? Perhaps I should ask him to remove it?
Also, hold my hand. I had to leave my baby with someone else, for up to an entire week. What will I do? I will have to practice on my Ibanez, which is in fierce need of a set up and is really difficult to play.
