| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: Ohio | | | How would you mount these things? They have wiring installation instructions on their page:
Wire pickups in series and use regular active or passive wiring circuits.
Drill 3/16" pilot hole through body for central mounting screw.
Next, drill very slightly bigger than 5/8" over same hole for pickup approx 1 1/8" deep.
You drill all the way through the body? And what...the mounting screw is accessable from the back?
Not sure if I'd want that mod...
Maybe on the top of a hollow body or abg.

And about the wiring: wouldn't it make more sense to reverse the wiring for each pickup to reduce noise? kinda like with a p bass pickup? |

Or should that be 2.7K ohms? |
