seems we've lost all ted's wiring diagrams, so heres the piezo with volume control
I don't have a volume control on my guitar. How does this change without that?
Funny how Ted`s not a member here anymore, but all his info is.
The problem with that diagram is single wires. I have found that if you use a sheided conductor it will eliminate 95% of your feed back. Think of coax but on a smaller scale. What I have done is buy a 25 ft roll of RCA cable from Home depot for $6.00. split the cable by pulling it apart. now you have two 25 ft (50ft) one conductor with a sheid wire. strip the insulation at the ends and unravel the braid away from the inner conductor and twist to form the second wire (ground). strip the inner wire and solder the inner wire to the positive (tip / hot) and solder the outter braided wire to the grounds. Make sure they do not touch each other (short) This will sheild your hot wire from any freq. from your amp speaker. Do this from the piezo to the volume control, tone control to the out put jack. If you have your gain to high that will cause feedback too.
Cut your wire in 8" to 10" sections, makes about 60 to 70 pickups. go to my site for a picture http://www.mojocbg.com
