The Shadow electronic system on my Kala Archtop died.
Personally I wasn't a huge fan of how it sounded when it did work anyway.
Generally I'm a huge fan of Shadow products, but the particular one on mine had weak output and prominent hum.
So I unscrewed it and removed the whole thing.
But what to do with the big gaping hole at the side of the uke?
I decided to do a bit of novice DIY:
I think I'll nickname this uke the "Love machine".
Next step: To install a high quality passive undersaddle system.
Shouldn't be too hard since the right holes are already drilled from the previous pickup system.
