  • Yep, carve out the neck a little so there's clearance between it and the soundboard. Brings two advantages - (1) the soundboard is freer to vibrate and should give a better general sound (2) you can fit a piezo on the underside below the bridge. Don't take off lots of wood - just enough to give a clear gap.

    Try to avoid having the piezo in contact with the neck or you'll risk picking up lots of finger noise.

  • Sure yah can!

    and if you don't like it, you could put another one somewhere else... and run the other, or both!

    There's lots of room to experiment in a search for the tone you wish to have.

    Fun stuff!
  • thanks for the reply. and that is what I was thinking. just hallow out the neck a little so it sits I there flush and glue it on top And bottom with some silicone glue and then glue the neck to the lid.
  • Hi Matthew.
    Certainly you can sandwhich the piezo between the neck & bridge.
    My preferred location is on the 3rd (or 4th) string side of the neck under the lid, below the bridge.
    I attach the disk using silicon to give a bit of a sound cushioning/dampening.
    Good luck with the build
