Hey there!
Since I am planning on playing a few "pub gigs" soon, I will need a pickup in one of my ukes. I have a LR Baggs Five.O at hand and would like to upgrade one of my sopranos.
I talked to a guitar shop and asked to install it into my Ken Timms. He said that the he cannot do it without enlarging the bridge since the pickup needs at least 2,4mm of space.
Now I checked my other ukes and all of them, except my Tinguitar Pineapple, have saddles that are way smaller than 2,4mm. Even my KoAloha Opio Concert (which would have been my no. 2 choice) is around 2mm only.
Is that really necessary? I already have a problem with drilling a hole in such a tiny instrument and do not want to change the whole bridge/saddle.
Thanks!
Ludwig.
