Re: Inexpensive mando pickup?
Schatten's utility pickup is about the size of a dime, with some plastic foam on the back.
One relatively easy location to install it would be just outside of the treble tone bar.
that would be a reasonable reach inside the F hole.
then there is reaming the tapered end button hole out to 1/2 inch
you have a nut that has too go inside the leads from the pickup soldered to the terminals on the jack
then the nut that is lying loose around the cable gets screwed onto the jack , that clamps the jack from the inside against the tail block,[so it has to go over the wires before you solder them on]
tailpiece goes back on, another nut clamps the outside , and the strap button nut goes on the outside of all that stuff.
brief generic description: , tooling up , buying all the tools to do it yourself ,
or just hiring the job out
can be priced out and compared. to see what works best for you.
