Modding a Sterling JP100 Guitar?
I recently found that the sterling JP100 and seen that it is much cheaper than the JP EBMM's. A bit more expensive than the jp50/60 but it also has a locking trem. One thing however that all the sterling music man JP guitars are missing is a piezo system.
So i was wondering how hard would it be to mod one to have a piezo system?
Such as replacing the saddles with piezo saddles, adding a modular preamp (such as the ones from fishman powerbridge or ghraptech ghost) and adding an additional switch to the guitar. And would doing this void any warranty i have for it?
Thanks for your answers!
Yes, most likely your warranty will be void if you mod anything on the guitar. Some of your ideas are inventive but, I can't understand why you would want to mod a new guitar. Why don't you just have the guitar you want custom made for you? Have you ever played with piezoelectric pickups before? How do you know you will even like the sound? I have thought about adding a 13 pin midi output and divided pickup on my Hagstrom Swede. But, the more I think about it and when I start adding up the costs, etc, I honestly believe I'm better off buying a new custom made Carvin SH575 which would have a standard 1/4" jack, a 1/4" piezo jack, and 13-pin midi jack and all the appropriate pickups built right into it. I really like the Hagstrom Swede for what I can do with it now. So, why take a change on changing anything on something that is working well for me? It's your decision but, the JP 100 is a pretty nice guitar as it is. Personally, I would not mess with it.
