    Nice job. If that was mine I’d have the Nashville bridge pick up as well and an additional blender knob .

    Wish you could do a soundtest after finishing...

    Thomastik JS110 Strings are certainly a good finishing touch because they'll save the frets from scratches.

    Hi and thanks for the video. I have this guitar and am really interested in putting a pickup in it. What is the make and model of the pickup you used? Not sure what to use. Great job and thanks for your help.

    Would you mind sharing what pickup, plate and knobs you purchased? Also, from where you got them? Thanks

      I found most of the time when doing these conversions , You do not need to ground the strings , In a rare occasion you may get some Hum… 🤔 If you are feeling real sporty …., 👀 You can put a small hole on the end of the guitar to run a ground wire to the new metal tailpiece which will ground all the strings, but this is not really necessary in most cases….👍🏻😎

    Did you come across any bracing when cutting out the pickup hole?

      Nope…👍🏻
      Those doggone resonator guitars are made of some thick wood , so they don’t have to do a lot of bracing in them….👍🏻

      @iplaymytele awesome! I have the same guitar and I'm going to toss in a pickup 🤙🏼 I think I'm going with a P90 with 250k pots and a .33 cap. Maybe a .47, i want it dark lol. What did you use?
