Thanks peeps! Since recording the piezo I added another one right next to it on the bass side. This gave it a lot more depth and warmth and halved the impedance. Which was important because I ended up putting the piezos (in parallel) and the P90 through a blend pot. I added a trim pot between the piezos and the blend pot to match them to the lower level of the P90.
I do like piezos for clean sounds, but of course the mag pups work better for distortion. So, best of both worlds! It all works and now it has three Cookie-blue knobs so it doesn't look like I shot, skinned and castrated the well-loved Muppet .

Lordy! I just dug out my cookie tin for the great cookie tin build off.... not sure how I can even hope to match three blue knobs...
Sounds great and the headstock is an inspired idea.
Next refinement to my piezo gats will be a notch filter tuned to take out the "scratchy" frequencies.

I love the sound with the piezo. That's the real sound of your guitar.
Nice.
sounds awesome
Second one was very interesting indeed... sort of a renaissance fair Sesame Street!
Nice! It has two distinctly different voices with the different pups. Great versatility.
