Hi all I’m after a great sounding pickup. I like the idea of piezo as u can’t see it so my builds stay raw. But I just can’t get the piezo to sound any good. Any ideas please

Hot glue it into a bottle cap then fill the cap with hot glue let it set then it’s good to go I do that on all mine and they sound great . There’s a you tube video on how to do it . 

Are awesome thanx. Does it matter what the quality of piezo is. I look forward to tying this out and seeing how much the difference is

No I just buy 27mm diamond ones they seem to go great have a look at my videos there all done with bottle cap piezos you can see in my pics as well also I never put my piezos on lid of box I place them under the through neck in bridge position it keeps the noise down give it a go let me know regards Jeff 

Are thanx dude I’ll give it a shot. Do I just buy them off eBay 

Yes mate you can do that .

Rad take care dude
