sg mark 2 !!! bulid with bigsby !!! and piezo tuneamatic bridge!!!

just scored my next project ,, payed $133 delivered for sg kit ,, bigsby set me back $50 ,, tunematic piezo with preamp $160 , total of $343,, will be setting up with split coil humbuckers (wilkisons) with push pull pots ,, some might remember my last sg make (as in pic) ,, shape will be same but beef up the hardware!!! so looking forward to the end result !!!

which Bigsby do you have??? you might have to alter the shape to accept it, if you have a B5 you can get a Vibramate V5 to accept it

Either way it will be AWESOME!!!

got b5,, going to plug holes with dowel cut from offcuts ,, and will have less cut from arse tho ,, will have flame cut but higher and less from where bigsby will go !!! doing it this way will ensure that holes will be filled with same wood and when painted in a car paint it will not be able to be seen !!! got it all covered !!! PS : you must sit on this forum just waiting to reply to people LOL

Sounds like a good idea, let's wait for the Resident Luthiers to have their say!

Yeah getting older & denser does suck . . .
How does the piezo system tie in with magnetic pickups?
Am I asking a silly question? :?

well the tuneamatic bridge has the piezo crystals (( http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370802376...84.m1438.l2649 )) ,, and you get the pre amp wiring harness for it (( http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370828934...84.m1438.l2649 )) .. makes life a lot easier ,, only differents is the i will have push pull pots in the wiring harness for spliting ,,, the piezo turns on and of via the push pull tone pot and has its own volume !!! ,,

Are you going for a stereo jack or two separate jacks? Ideally you want to send the magnetics to your amp and the piezo to a DI or an acoustic amp.
