OK. I tried that on an early build but it was pretty low level output. I figured I'd get more kinetic action and hence more output with it between the bridge and the saddle as per usual installation. Have had problems installing those too - they have to have even contact all the way along -  and just use disc piezos usually.

I just wedge it in there... I use angled through-style necks on my builds, and find that the best place is way down at the heel.  

No audio or video of it yet... I can barely play right handed, much less as a lefty!  Soon though, hopefully.  It goes to it's new home this week.

Cool. How do you install a rod piezo between neck and sound board? Got a vid or audio of it in action?

Hey Glenn, it has a rod piezo installed between the neck and soundboard. It's a 22" scale, with Pahoehoe "long scale" strings.
As far as sound, it's not super loud acoustically, but sounds awesome plugged in. For acoustic playing, I stretch Pahoehoe strings up a full octave (piccolo bass tuning).

Love it. Have been thinking of doing one. Did you put a rod piezo in it or what? Scale and what strings, please? And how does it sound???
