Rather than buy a whole new guitar if you want to plug your acoustic in, how about a Freshman Pickup and Pre-Amp?

That’s where the pre-amp has to go..

Double check I’ve got the measurements right for the hole…

This bit’s always a bit of a heart in the mouth moment, no going back now……

I’m using a Stanley hacksaw, nice fine teeth, held back to front so that it cuts on the push-stroke.  That way if any wood splits out it’ll be on the inside not the outside.

That’s about it, just a little bit of tidying up….

and there it is…

The jack socket sits in the middle of the strap button on the back of the guitar.

The pickup sits under the bridge saddle..

And there it is.

A nice neat fix.
