Hi Dan, to use this thing you just need to cut the 1/8 plug off and wire it to the pickup you need to wire both wire as the plug is stereo , I have not tried it on a piezo disk yet. This is neat because of the rechargeable battery. You could build your own Lm386 chip amp. this amp would not make you happy as the low voltage means low volume.
if you really want a good onboard amp try one of Bens amp kits

Your diary is well worth adding as a blog for anyone who hasn`t,or is about to build a guitar. Great work.
Thank you for the friend request. You may already know but bezdez on ebay is based In Ontario and is great for guitar parts http://stores.ebay.co.uk/bezdez. If I can help in anyway Please ask.
Kind regards,
David
Hi Dan. thanks for the friend request. If there's anything I can do too help you in any way, please don't hesitate too ask.
All the Best!

You're welcome, Dan. I talked to Randy Bretz yesterday about your problem, and it turns out the bridge saddle not only needs to be making full contact with the rod, but the rod needs to be under pressure. String tension is usually enough pressure to make it work.
