Thanks for checking it out Doug. The proverbial piezoelectric disc is definitely a useful tool in the builders kit.

Disc piezos are such a simple way to electrify a CBG. Thanks for showing how easy it is Kale.

I don’t use hot glue, but the thick double stick tape on both sides of the piezo and then peel and stick it in place one the bass side of the bridge (doesn’t matter with a single string). It also allows me to make up a bunch in advance that are ready for a quick install.

I remember that too. Those Radio Shack doorbells contained piezoelectric transducers. You can actually still by those. Nowadays though that doesn't make much sense because you can buy 10 or 20 raw piezos for what the doorbell assembly costs. LOL.

I remember back pre 2010 seeing a vid on making cbgs and electrifying it - using a door bell (which contained a piezo) I did a few like that with doorbells from Radio Shack.
