Members kingadvid3m Posted October 1, 2008 Members Share Posted October 1, 2008 I recently sanded the bridge saddle on my acoustic to lower the string height. It made effected the piezo pickup somehow. The A & D strings are now way louder than the other strings. Anyone knows what caused this? Is it perhaps because of unbalanced sanding which result in different pressure absorption on the Piezo? What should i do to fix this?

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted October 1, 2008 Members Share Posted October 1, 2008 Always sand on a perfectly flat surface (I use a piece of marble tile)...resanding may make your saddle a little low, but this'll fix ya right up: http://littlebrother.nlpd.com/Clay-UST/index.htm PM me you snail-mail and I'll be happy to send you enough of this clay to correct your issue.

Hi TAH, I guess you've tried this procedure? How would you describe the results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely...every one of my plugged-in acoustics have had this done...it works great! Assuming your piezo is functioning correctly, the balance from string-to-string will be perfect, and the tone is much more microphone-like, due to the tiny bit of delay the clay adds to the signal...much less piezo "quack", too. No change, sonically, when you're playing unplugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
