Retrofitting strat pickup as an acoustic pickup

[Quencho092]

One of the best adjustments I've made recently is in the picks and strings dept. I currently have a set of thomastik flatwound classical s strings (flatwound EADGB in the same tension as a regular nylon/silverplated set) and my old yamaha acoustic has become a fantastic tool for pickup jam sessions, with steel strings!

I have a leftover RW/RP duncan surfer, and I was wondering if there was a way to mount it in the soundhole without wrecking my guitar. I wouldn't mind mounting it above the 18th fret either as I can't reach (no cutaway) and it will probably get a great tone.

So how do I mount this?! I would like for it to be removable, so I'm thinking a clamp of sorts might do the trick. Obviously a cable jacket >1/4'' plug would solve the connection issue, i jst need a mounting solution!

If you can, find a Lace Sensor "Acoustic Bronze" pickup --- it holds a Strat sized single coil and is entirely removable.

Glad I could help. I used to have one, but it's on consignment in a music store 100 miles from where I live in the town I used to live in.

If I still had it, it would be on its way to you.

You can find them pretty easily though!
