Scott your uke projects look great, you'll have to post some finished pics of the collection.
Hi, Scott. I like your builds and photos. I'm glad to have you as a CBN friend.
Hi and thanks, I will be listing the pickups on my site at homemade-guitars.com or reddogguitars.com
they will be up there soon!
piezos do not ohm out by the way
my piezo did the same thing , until i installed an onboard buffer circuit . i used a tillman . all the parts are available at radio shack . you can do a quick test to see if this will work for you , i think this should work but ... it may not until its installed inside , but ... try a guitar effects pedal that has a built in buffer . if that stops the hum , consider an onboard buffer or boost circuit . piezo is a lower output than a mag pu ... would it HURT ? the battery will last an awful long time , you COULD go with a rechargable , install a jack to recharge and an led meter as well , if you wanted to go all out . i added a headphone amp to mine . the battery lasts for years . google tillman http://tinyurl.com/nfrjlw3
