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!

July 30, 2023

Gold-o-Caster series The very last thing that was left to do: replacing the black pickup switch tip with a golden one. Spot a difference 🙂 Before: After: The “gold” color of the tip is not exactly the same hue as the gold of the buttons or of the control plate,…
