So I’ve installed and adjusted a few pickups before so I’m decently knowledgeable in installing and troubleshooting them. I’ve successfully installed 2, and troubleshooted 1 other.
I’ve never installed a pickup in a tie knot bridge, like on the HP-1. Because the saddle slot is not very deep, will I need to deepen the slot slightly with a file, so that way the saddle can sit exactly down, and flush and not at an angle this way \ towards the nut due to not having enough bridge to hold it vertically down in place? I’ve only installed in tie block bridges before, so any advice is helpful.
For a test run to make sure the pickup was functioning correctly, I slid the piezo in the slot, put the saddle on top, and tuned up (the whole pickup is still on the exterior, no holes drilled) to make sure signal was being received. When plugged into my monitor, it’s not receiving much signal and is weak (perhaps due to the \ angle as talked about above)?
