A recent eBay acquisition of a Rolan MicroCube amp has led to me going back to a Cigar Box Uke I made a couple of years back to fit a pickup. The intonation was never right on this instrument (compensation problems!) so it needed pulling apart. So I fitted a piezo pickup with a tone/volume control unit. However I think the pickup must be intended for a mando or something as the expected string spacings are quite close together. The result was that my A string was not being picked up. Luckily the wonderful Chinese suppliers has included a guitar piezo which fits the string spacings but sticks out (See photo)
This works acoustically, but is not functional.
My question is can I trim the piezo pickup without breaking it?
Thanks
