Lyn #14 - Solid-body Acoustic

Thanks Kim.

But this guitar will only have the piezo pickup as I need to get my head around "blending" magnetic and piezo pickups. I believe that the impedance difference in each design means that "blending" is not as straight forward as it sounds. This is a proof of concept type of deal, so I need to know if the piezo will do what I want before I get too adventurous.

Ooo how did I miss this? Great work Robin!

With the preamp for the piezo it should be able to match the impedance to that of the magnetics I think.

Thanks Simon.

I might have that impedance thing wrong. All I know is that when I started my google research I came across "blending" Piezos with Magnetics could be a bit of a problem. I saw several builds and some top end guitars like PRS that had extra circuitry to blend the pickups. So I shied away from that quick smart and decided to just try and make it work with a piezo.

The build is on hold just now as I used my last waterslide decal on it and it did not take and has lifted. So until I get that done I can't apply any more naughty oil. I don't have access to a laser printer so I am waiting for a good time to hit up my bro-in-law for a favour.

Cheers mate

Coming along nicely Robin....

Cheers Andy, still a bit to do, but it will have to wait until I get some waterslides done.

You got a laser printer? If you do but don't have any waterslide paper, I have some. Just let me know.

[robin]

Thanks so much Andy, much appreciated.

I do have one last sheet of (laser) waterslide paper but unfortunately I don't have a laser printer. I have given the sheet to my bro-in-law who will print it out at his work and now just waiting on him to get it back to me.

I must admit to getting a bit impatient to start again so hopefully it won't be to much longer.

Cheers mate

you will get there Westie, can you start work on the body while you wait more stain or clear coats ? You can always work on the neck except the headstock face waiting for the logo

[robin]

Hey Warren, that's the thing. The waterside decal is going on the body and not the headstock. Lol. So I'm pretty much stuck until I get the decal off the bro.

[wokkaboy]

ah ok Westie07, is there work on the neck you can do ?

I'd put some pressure on you bro then
