Gretch Jim Dandy + pickup

Badscrew, November 15, 2021July 16, 2023

Added a soundhole pickup into this guitar! It won’t be an “acoustic” anymore, but an “acoustic electric”!

First two additional holes: one for a volume potentiometer (6 mm) and another for the endpin jack (12 mm):

The pickup is a Gretch Deltoluxe – a very nice magnetic single coil designed to fit into an acoustic guitar’s sound hole. It’s sold with all the mounting hardware and the endpin jack, but it doesn’t have a volume control, so I’ll be adding one. The pickup has a cable long enough to insert the volume pot in the upper side close to the neck joint.

And it’s all mounted!

Another low stress project! I’ve got an old Harley Benton with a maple neck and an alder with translucent finish body. The body finish is really cheap and uneven and I don’t like its color so going to strip it to bare wood that seems nice enough to let it…
