Installing Piezo Disk Pickup into New Cigar Box Guitar: Soldering & Placement Advice

[@robthebear2850]

I have the same brillo pad solder cleaner. Not the highlight of this great video, but I was like, "hey - I have the same bit of kit." I also have an acid cigar box, but I peeled off the labels and use it to hold stuff. Very well made.

Hi! I finished the build with the Acid box. It actually sounds great with strings 3, 2, 1 from a light phosphor bronze pack. I made some recordings and will share them in my next vid. Thanks for checking out my channel : )

This content is Fantastic! You do a great job explaining what you are doing on each step. I liked the analysis of piezo location as well. Great use of the DAW. Bravo!

[@psycheopera]

Thank you so much!!!! I am truly honored. 😘✨

[@AlexPettyMusic]

I love this! Reminds of my days working in Paul Reed Smith's finishing shop back in the early 90s. Love what you're doing!

[@psycheopera]

Love that! 💜 Do you still build electric guitars? Would love to see your work ✨

I've been wanting to add some piezo mic's to my guitar, but I was worried about how I could attach it. Thanks for that little tip about blue painter's tape.

[@psycheopera]

Glad I could help! ✨ Let me know how your project turns out. 👍🎶

me encantan, increible!!!!, gracias por compartir la informacion

[@psycheopera]

¡Gracias! ✨Me alegra mucho que has disfrutado mi vídeo.😁 Bienvenido a mi canal.🔥

[@JeffreyBaconBacon]

Thank you for this video! Very interesting! I am curious as to what software you used to analyze the sound?

[@psycheopera]

Hi! I’m so glad you enjoyed my video. ✨The DAW I used in the video is Adobe Audition, which has awesome sound analysis tools. But, in this case, I analyzed the recordings by ear 👂 and made my choice based on which piezo placement gave me the most balanced sound. 🎸 Thanks for checking out my work! 💜 Hope you’re enjoying my latest vids 🙏😀

[@Psychotenuse]

Good soldering technique :) btw if you twist the piezos wires together you'll get less hum

[@psycheopera]

Wow! Thank you so much for the tip! I will definitely try this ✨💚

[@alvarobyrne]

i like how you resolve the piece where the strings gain tension, with a screw, is that called the bridge? i'l go and check a video where a cbg is built

[@psycheopera]

Hi! Thanks for checking out my video! The machine screw on the box functions as both the bridge and saddle. A lot of builders prefer wooden floating bridges, which you can get from suppliers like CBGiitty, but I prefer this simpler method. Cheers! ✨😊

[@alvarobyrne]

@@psycheopera Well done. Ah! but you don't have a video where details of cbg building are displayed. That's fine , it's just it surprised me. I started watching the one in which you show your collection, I have to take time to finish it.Very nice channel! I want to make an electric zyther or lap-harp, that is how i fell in your channel!

[@psycheopera]

Hey there! Thank you for watching my video showcasing my collection of cbgs. I'm excited about your upcoming electric zither or lap harp project. Please do post a video demonstrating your instrument after it's built. I'd love to see and hear it! ✨😀
