I did some looking around at different options that would fit the bracing thats inside the body cavity that would be hidden. I contacted Shadow but they're incommunicado likely due to the Rona or just because I was a small fry customer. I wanted to use the original preamp so afaik (I've never had an electric acousic or piezo) I had to use another piezo of some sort, but as we all know the under saddle ones you can buy are too narrow. I will be carving a new saddle for the bridge out of a block of cocobolo that I have, and I just received a replacement pickup set. Gluing the bridge will be easy, and thanks to this place I got an original pre-amp, however the piezo and saddle bits that I got were ruined and I dont think its worth trying to salvage them. In this case I got a decent condition white tele ferrington with no electronics and the bridge removed. As I tend to do I pick up project guitars to save a little money and then spend the savings either refurbishing them if they're worth it or making them more custom to my liking if they're too far gone or not a particularly special piece.
