    Hi CS, I’ve been trawling through t’Interwebs looking for resources on this. I found some interesting stuff here: http://handmademusicclubhouse.com/ph...ams-schematics

    which outlines some basics, and does include one reference to wiring in a pre amp. I’ve been looking for some alternatives on the on board, but so far coming up empty on a standard unit that satisfies my idea to edge mount it. I’ve got a couple of options to consider that might be modifiable to do what I want.

    Thanks, that link looks like it covers the basic problem BUT please keep me updated re the "on board" explorations.
    I've reached out to a few people both here and in the States for ideas and will happily pass on anything that looks good.

    He assures me this WITHOUT a pre-amp will work well, two volume pots to blend peizo and mini humbucker. He said being a resonator and not a smooth sounding high quality acoustic the lack of pre-amp is fine.
    If a small affordable pre-amp turns up before I wire it I'll fit one (and can retro fit later) but for now I'll set the neck and work with the attached plan in mind.
