Hi,
I would be grateful to know if anyone has installed a pickup themselves to a Blackbird Ukulele.
The shop I contacted said they no longer fit pick ups to the Blackbirds anymore.
Apparently, the Ekoa material is very unpredictable when you drill into it and the internal end has no specific flat block. I’m assuming you need good contact on the inside as well and the Ekoa may be rougher internally than wood.
Any tips from people who have experience of fitting a pick up to a Blackbird would be much appreciated. Thanks.
