I'm scanning your online catalog and seeing 20mm/27mm and 41mm piezo sizes. What are
the differences..are there any differences tonewise?
Also..you show a 250K pot and a 500K pot. I have used a piezo tune-o-matic bridge on my homemade
Les Paul types and the volume control supplied by LR Baggs is 5 meg ohm. Piezos are high impedance
devices according to my understanding and tube amps have typically 1 megohm input impedance.
Now a 500k for a humbucker pickup or 250k for a SC (single coil) sounds right, but I would think
that if the piezos are wired directly into a volume control, it should be around 1megohm at least.
Am I correct in this assumption?
What about wiring the two piezo's in parallel. Someone stated that two piezos will sound louder than
1 piezo or two wired in series. Again this appears to be the result of the transducer's very high
input impedance.

Carverman, the good doctor sends his regards.
Thank you "good doctor/Rev Feelgood" for your warm welcome and kindest regards.
Wow, carverman - a 6 string for a first build? Quite ambitious. I mad a shitload of mistakes on my 1st two 3 stringers - but then again, I fly by the seat of my pants and do not plan extensively like a lot of the CBG guys here. Good luck with your build! BTW - I use 20mm piezos from CB's and they always sound surprisingly good to me.
As far as 2 in parrallel that is how I use them and to me they don't sound louder, just better to my ears and they reduce the feedback from the amp, I don't know how, it just works. I use 2 of CB Gittys 20mm piezos.
