I have looked all over this site and can't find an answer.... I bought a bunch of pre-amps with a rod piezo and started to convert them to disk piezos because I use a bolt for my bridges. I thought this was dumb since they have a rod piezo attached. Can I treat the rod piezo like the disks and hot glue them to the inside of the box cover or neck.

I have had some luck with this set up. It's easier than routing a channel in the bridge.
What do you use to keep the bolt from rolling and messing up the intonation when tuning?
Its a bolt and nut at the bridge. I have several sizes to get the action right. I also use a 3/8 x1-1/2 bolt as the nut set in a small indentation. The movement of these allows easy conversion from a low action to a higher action if one wants to play more slide guitar. Intonation doesn't seem to be a problem. Plus the thing looks really cool.
ok, the hex head of the bolt and hex nut stop it from rolling. I asked because I have stumbled across a few wall hangers that used a bit of threaded rod, and when I went to tune them I could watch the threaded rod roll toward the neck.
Its become my new favorite curse word - "Wall Hanger!" LOL
