- A home guide to installing acoustic soundhole pickups- as shown with the Gretsch Deltoluxe single-coil passive pickup.
Apologies for the fast forwards - the original video was over 17 minutes I- I didn’t think too many people would sit through the whole thing but I can walk you through some areas if you like-
Some preliminary steps that i skipped -
1. taping around the drilling area with masking/gaffer tape- this will help avoid chipping/flaking of the finish if that’s a concern.
2. The step drill bit is important- if you push a straight 1/2”(13mm) bit through the strap pinhole as is you could potentially damage the surrounding area - go in gently with the step bit first - if the step bit is metric I’m not sure if 13mm is the last gauge-so check your numbers
3. There are two pinholes at the top of the endpin Jack that will allow you to pass through a thin wire (a high e string may do in a pinch) (around the 5:44 mark I pulled a thin wire through the endpin hole with enough length to reach out of the sound hole- passed the end through the pinholes and tied it off so I could pull it back out through the endpin- the back end nuts threaded on the output are to be adjusted so just enough of the jack pops through so you can screw on the strap pin that holds the Jack in place- maybe just over 1/4”(7mm)? (I eyeballed that measurement so my numbers may not be exact) -
The instruments shown in the first 2:30 feature heavily in my other videos- you can skip to the installation guide portion if yon go to the 3:45 mark up to approximately 7:00
Remaining 4+ minutes is testing through a Vox Mini 3 and a 6-channel Yamaha mixer (contrasting mic vs pickup and blends)
