Hex piezo saddles for home-made Variax?
Question:
Hi, Decent DSPs and super low-power codecs are now available that would enable it to be phantom-powered via a stereo XLR-5 output (stereo output), and the algorithms are not that hard, so I want to experiment with making my own Variax-Strat-style guitar (including quite a few things that the Variax doesn’t do). I’ve seen Fishman’s Powerbridge and Graph-tech’s "Ghost" piezo saddles. Has anyone had any experiences with either of these, or any other hex piezo solution for a Strat-style floating bridge?
Response:
I had a Brian Moore i2.5 with the RMC pickup system and MidiAxe interface. That was a Les-Paul style bridge, but RMC makes one for Strats as well. Tracking was exceptional, especially compared to the Gk2A system I had before.
