Troubleshooting this mic/piezo blended pickup system for @tender__ness this morning.

- I like to have precut pieces of sandpaper ready for all my little jobs. 80 grit up to 2000 for most things. 150 through 600 gets the most use for me.
- Disemboweled. #gretsch #peekaboo
- The shop has been wildly busy. After a focused 12 hour day, yesterday, and a flurry of work today, it sure feels great to put up my feet and forget, for a moment, the heap of work still needing to be done. #thanksforallthefish
- Process.
- #math wins again! Tried a new technique for designing a mandolin bridge today. I tuned up this instrument and set the bridge in the proper location for just one string at a time to achieve perfect intonation and recorded the string length. After noting the measurements down, I calculated the mean distance and plotted each string’s variance from the mean giving me an accurate number model of how the bridge contours would need to be set. Theory to real world result = just right. Fun!

Does that type of pickup seem to be most accurate in an acoustic guitar?
In my opinion, a mic is usually the most accurate, but even so, I still prefer a magnetic sound hole pickup for the sound I like. Piezo pickups have never really impressed me, but they’re my best seller. Go figure! 😉
