I'm not sure if I can pull this one off. It is K & K's Western Mini. The main question I have is, how difficult is it to pull the end pin on an acoustic?I'm talking about my Takamine GS330S. They recommend having a pro do it if it is glued, but mine looks like the standard tapered snug fit end pin. It is an interesting procedure none the less. You are super gluing three "mic" pads under the soundboard just below the saddle. and drilling the endpin hole to 1/2 inch. That's pretty much it, but I won't attempt if it's a b...... to get the pin out. I'll just take it to Truetone. But I though it may be interesting for those looking for an inexpensive but good sounding pup for their acoustic.

The guitar version of some string winders have a notch in the side to make pulling those pins out a bit easier.

Well, I'll bring it, and if we feel froggy, we'll give it a whirl.

Wait a minute, froggys and whirl?

What's red and green and goes a hundred miles an hour?

or something like that

Well, we said we'd have clinic sessions. That could be one project.

Another might be the setup of my 4003 Turquiose.

Yeah, I have the VVTT 4004 mod and the Hipshot D-tuner if I can find the screws. The ones they sent with the product are too short. I got a couple from Dane but they seem to have grown legs and...............

Maybe we should bring this to the Confluence section of the forum?
