Post subject:  Source for long under saddle pick-up?
Can anyone tell me where I might get an extra long under saddle pick-up? The guitar I am just about finished has a saddle length of 4.5" (it's an 8 string fan fret) and the client likes under saddle pick-ups.

Thanks,
Pat

You can make it any length you want.

It should work with this preamp: http://www.allparts.com/PU-6413-000-Pie ... _3114.html

Thanks for the response guys. The thought of making my own is intriguing. We'll see how ambitious I get.

The cable is the pickup, so it can be any length. These sound great.
