Can you wire two piezo pickups in series like you can single coil pickups? If so would it work to simply wire the ground of one to the jack/switch/knob/etc. then wire that hot from that pickup to the ground of the other pickup's ground wire, and wire that pickups hot to back to the jack/switch/etc.? If you do this will it double the output as it does with coils? Thanks.

two in series seem to settle down the "quacking" a lot and... allows for some tone shaping that is not possible with a single... that being said, if tone is a goal, just go with a wound pup....Wichita Sam
Well, since they are physically wired as a series... I don't see what's not to get. one wired into another, then into the output jack. It works...

according to my experimenting, two in series is much loader than one by itself. so that's good enough for me. I just need a rig that will hold it's own playing along side my tele pups that are in my 6 string cigarster. If anyone is interested in seeing it, here are pics, thanks for the replys. http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/silenceisconsent/guitar/

OK, youall. heres a little incite to piezos and how thay work as a pick up and not as a buzzer. Flexing a piezo disk in one direction , creates a low current / high voltage to one lead. Then flexing in the other direction creates a low current/ high voltage to the other lead, That being said, thier is no specific positive or negative side to a piezo. You can test this for your self using a multimeter on the lowest dc volt setting.

I wire them in parallel because if a problem develops with one disc the others will still work. I know from previous posts some do it in series.

Good luck and let us know how you get on :o)
