It also came with the correct plug to simply plug into the ferrington preamp, so to the naked eye it will look and hopefully perform like an original ferrington. It was reasonably priced, the clips I heard online were to my liking and it can be stuck under the bridge inside the soundhole. What I ended up with is a "Journey Instruments" 3 transducer piezo system. I was looking at the I Beam units and such but I dont think they would work due to the guitars bracing. I really dont want to see a pickup across the soundhole and I dont want to make any permanent cuts or holes that I dont need.
I did some looking around at different options that would fit the bracing thats inside the body cavity that would be hidden. I contacted Shadow but they're incommunicado likely due to the Rona or just because I was a small fry customer. I wanted to use the original preamp so afaik (I've never had an electric acousic or piezo) I had to use another piezo of some sort, but as we all know the under saddle ones you can buy are too narrow.
I will be carving a new saddle for the bridge out of a block of cocobolo that I have, and I just received a replacement pickup set.
Gluing the bridge will be easy, and thanks to this place I got an original pre-amp, however the piezo and saddle bits that I got were ruined and I dont think its worth trying to salvage them. In this case I got a decent condition white tele ferrington with no electronics and the bridge removed. As I tend to do I pick up project guitars to save a little money and then spend the savings either refurbishing them if they're worth it or making them more custom to my liking if they're too far gone or not a particularly special piece.
