Piezo with HH in Hollowbody build

[Drashkum]

I am starting a PBG FS-1 Build next week. I was contemplating a Tunomatic piezo integration with regular Dual Humbucker pickups.

Plan
Pickups
1. Dual humbuckers with Seymour duncan Triple shot rings where I can chose to coil split the Humbuckers from the pickup rings itself ( I am trying to do this as I can do away with use of push pull Pots on a already complicated wiring)

2. Kaish (Ebay - Chinese) / Graphtec/Fishman Tune-o-matic saddle piezo pickup

I am not sure how to go about this one with 2V/ 2T configuration with ability to chose either pickups and blend them together on a single Mono output. May i know If this even Possible? What K pots I need? Do I need a Preamp? Do I need a cut out for battery slot? Are there any third party on board preamp available if I choose a Chinese Ebay piezo?

What are your thoughts? Can you guys help me on how to go about with this build Please?

Bump...

Ok. I have done a fair bit of research. Looks like for a 2 separate outputs for Piezo and Magnetic pickups it doesn't need any active electronics

But for any blending between the regular HBs and piezo it needs a Buffer Preamp for both Magnetic and piezo with a battery inside for active circuitry.

Fishman and Graphtech both has their own small preamp which can be housed inside the guitar. The Chinese ones done come with preamp. I have to find a way to buy a Jfet preamp with blend pot for it to make it work.

Any of you have tried this? Any suggestions would be very valuable

After a lot of research figured out I need something like this

https://www.alegree.co.uk/products/a...lectric-guitar

So as to blend the pick up or use it in what ever combination I want to use. They have the piezo pickups too for 30 gbp along with this costing 70gbp.

I have to check if this is a legitimate site to buy and also find a way to hotswap 9v battery inside.

Will continue in my diary
