Ok,
I have a Vangarde Vista d' Tampa cigar box of unknown vintage (a garage sale find). I had a fretted 24 5/8 neck built by www.deltagrooves.com. Next, I ordered from G.B Gitty a pre-wired single coil pick with tone, volume and jack, and a Ukulele Rod Piezo. I have the box cut, neck recessed for the single coil. It's looking really nice.
I would like to know: is it possible to wire up these two pickup combinations? I have a two way selector, but I think a 3 way would be better, that way I could get the single coil, single coil and Piezo, and just piezo.
Also, I looked at some suggestions for the piezo. I'm thinking a pre-amp would really do nicely. What are the thoughts here?
Oh, and lastly I'm going to need some tuning pegs. I was thinking Stewart Mac, but I'm open to any place not unduly expensive.
Dwight.

Here's a wiring diagram for what you want http://handmademusicclubhouse.com/photo/wiring-diagram-mag-pupvol
Yup, a pre-amp will make a big difference.
Tuners at a good value, and anything else you need you can find here. www.cbgitty.com
Hope this helps!
Since I've been messing with the same preamps David is taking about and hadn't thought about phase I'll ask -
To flip the single coil phase you'd just switch your coil leads, +ve for -ve right? Or would you have to switch the magnet polarity?
Thanks everyone. I'm on the look out for a decent pre-amp that'll fit. I'll order the tuners this week. The diagram was a definite help!

like The P Kid says,the cheapo chinese ones may not do everything they claim too,they Will process your piezo signal and improve it immensely.i would suggest that you isolate it so that it only effects the piezo circuit and process your mag pup via the amp,others may not agree,but that works for me
just another thought Dwight ,the preamp doesn,t have to be in the guitar,if that,s awkward,just need it inline b4 amp
