It's possible but really depends on how skilled and confident you are with a dremel. For me it seems a bit dangerous and I would probably not try it.

I didn't manage to record a follow up video but the sound significantly improved after about a year. It became warmer and had more depth to it. Unfortunately because of the lighter bracing the top arched more and the poorly glued bridge started lifting at the wings so I had to reglue it. I'll definitely do it again, maybe on one of their budget slope shoulder models. Nothing I would've done differently.

Yes it's one of those 12 fret model from the 30s.

I've been eying the same model - a hummingbird red spruce. I own a 2023 J-45 red spruce already that I play everyday. It's absolutely incredible, but I'm looking for a wider sound to compliment it in my show. Do you still enjoy it?

I love it. It has this warm creamy tone. I left my hometown about 6 months ago to go out on the road and build a project. Playing this guitar just surround me this warmth it makes me feel like I'm back home with the people I love.

I think I used 600 grit. I may go down to 400 grit for very severe orange peel and blotches. But you have to be very careful not to sand through to the colour coat.

I think it's a urethane base. It's basically 2k clear, which the automotive people use. There's a hardener that accelerates the drying process and the finish hardens very quickly, ready to buff within the next few days. And it's a very hard finish as well. Some modern guitar companies use this finish. It's quite scratch resistant so definitely built to last.

@@simpleone1989 Wau, I don't know this product, urethane, I know polyurethane, where I live they don't sell this, you answered me so quickly, thank you for clearing my doubt, I don't usually use P.U. Or any very rigid varnish on my guitar, as it works as if the wood had received a thick leather coat which prevents the guitar from vibrating, I will try to use a light aerosol varnish

@@rogermenali1841 I think as long as you use whatever is available, if it works it's fine.

@@simpleone1989 Thanks for networking with views

Thanks for the tip! Will try 500k in the future!

Dimarzio recommends 250k with Areas, and those who tried 500k reported it was too much, too ice-peaky, so Dimarzio voiced these to be used with 250k.

@@SergeiVlassov My expirience with 250k pots and Di Marzio´s AREA T pickups is that they sound darker than a true single coil (like in this video) l, both neck and bridge, when I switched to 500K Dimarzio pickups came to life, they sound like a vintage Tele pickup without the hum, I recorded both and the difference is just as I´ve just described. BTW Dimarzios user/installation guide is inclomplete and generic. I prefer testing and hearing than reading forums. a 10 buck change made a world off difference, If you look at the specs off any noisless pickup they recommend 500k at least the volume control (for single coil) Remember noisless pickups are stacked humbackers , so as such it peforms the best wirh 500k pots. Again this pickups Area T DP317 and DP418 are the best noisless pickup I´ve heard/used. The same are Dimarzio area 58, 67 and 61 for strat, I have a set but haven´t installed yet. Oh they´re inexpensive because people doesn´t want noisless pickups, the same people that write in forums, they don´t try, don´t listen just use their imagination. We are in 2024, whe don´t need to deal with 60 ro 50 hz hum to have a real single coil sound.

How will I know if the output of three transducers will be equal to the piezo wire ? Is there a way to measure it ? Could you help me out please ?

@@miltontuffpuff Hi I think if you wire them in parallel they should sound OK. My knowledge in electronics is very limited but I think once they are in parallel, the preamp should be able to amplify the signals. I think transducers on the bridge plate, like a K&K mini, will sound good with the piezo UST. I have done this method of wiring to some of my other guitars and they sound much better.

Thank you so much good sir 🙏🏾
