A while ago I was looking for an inexpensive way to make a pickup for my guitar. One common style of pickup uses something called a piezo in it. I began to do some research and realized that there were piezos all around me, all I had to do was figure out the easiest place to find them and how to wire them up to act as a surface mount microphone.
*This is all just my experimentation, so I take no responsibility for damages to any instruments, burnt fingers, electrocution, or any other possible things that could happen because of doing this project. If you don’t know what you are doing, make sure you do your research first**

If you want to get the best out of this: (1) put a RF shielding cover over the open back (e.g. copper sheet) to minimize hum from things like flouro lights. Add insulation in between to avoid shorting the piezo element to the cover. (2) Rusty may have done this in the video, but always plug these into a pre-amp that has a minimum input impedance of 1M Ohm; piezo’s have a very high impedance, so matching to that will give the best frequency response. Plugging into a lower impedance input tends to give the dreaded ‘piezo honk’; LOTS of mids, reduced bass.

I'm guessing JJB and K&K are doing this with their pickups? I think LR Baggs is doing the same thing with the iBeam. I love these types of pickups the best, but they suffer from terrible feedback when used live. I'm also guessing that's why UST pickups are more common. UST pickups are an example of polishing a turd lol.

Hi and many, many thanks for your super input!!!! I was sceptical, but I immediately bought 4 brand new large piezo elements (€ 0.79 each - hahaha!!!), optimised the positions and the adhesive material first on the guitar top, now stuck them inside and wired the 6.3 jack socket of the old PickUp system (with bridge piezo) symetrically. The new 4 x piezo stuff sounds fantastic and so close to a mic recording, that I can only wonder!!! The only small, but for me as a home recorder irrelevant disadvantage - the system is more susceptible to feedback. For me, it's a tonal blast for practically no money! THX!!! S.H.

Great Video and I'm here to tell you this works. I had a three piezo inside under bridge that had way to much high end, no bottom end. Made one exactly as shown in video and installed and it sounds great. The three piezo setup would not send a good enough signal to my TC Helicon voice live to trigger the harmony effect. This piezo hack triggers the Helicon perfectly. If it were my ears only it might be skeptical but the Helicon knows what kind of signal it needed to work. Thanks a bunch.

In the 90’s I took a set of cheap earbuds, desoldered the tiny speakers in the earbuds and soldered in cheap tiny little mic elements from Radio Shack, put the earbuds in my ears and plugged into my mini disc player and recorded. I used it for ambient sound in public, and recorded a friend’s band in a bar. The results were amazingly great and lifelike. It would have sounded better with quality parts and acoustic design. There is a mic you can buy today that works just like this. I’ve seen it for $200-300. Really, I should have added a battery inline to serve as a preamp for best results, bit it was awesome even all Jethro like it was. A few things folks should know if they think this will be a great pickup for them. There is no one ideal way to electrify an acoustic instrument. The piezos in watches will not all be the same, some may sound better, some worse. Many pickups will sound good if you have a sound engineer massaging it into a professional sound board in a quiet environment with minimal instrument handling. Using a soundboard mounted pickup like this gets a lot of handling noise. Every little touch of the instrument is there, and annoyingly loud. They are also subjected to feedback if you are playing through an amp. The wire hanging off like that will be unwieldy, and will eventually break off from the pickup if it is just hanging loose and moves relative to the pickup. If you make one and want a long lasting install, you could attach it to the soundboard inside the instrument, and run the wire to a jack that you install onto the instrument. You can also buy a cheap external soundboard pickup for a few bucks from scamazon and elsewhere. But I’ve never heard anyone describe them as sounding amazing. I suspect that the metal watch back and blue tac receive the vibrations better than the plastic housing and foam tape those cheap units use. YMMV and good luck!

Thanks, those are some great insights for those that want to try use this for something other than a bit of fun. I'll add another downside, it's super easy to bump the pickup and knock it off the instrument.

I wonder if you could make it active by adding an lm amp circuit with some feedback ground isolators and frequency modulators to cut out all the junk you get with cheap active pickups... but then again active pickups always use coils of wire so the eddie currents likely play a big role in the feedback dept though... just an idea.. would be cool to see the pickup used as an i/o trigger like the ones used on drums.. they are the exact same thing except instead of just plugging into an amp to get the sound you run it through a box that has different prerecorded sounds that are "triggered" by the piezo on the drum heads and also reflects live how hard the drum is hit.. they use them a lot on live shows especially on the kick drums but are different for em.. anywho just an idea for a guy who had held a soldering iron a time or two.. some simple electret mic amp circuits should work with minimal parts and try a simple high band or low band crossover circuit with some inductors and caps like what are used on speaker systems.. would be interesting to see, especially if you made a package out of it that could be stuck on things or even a in line deal down the quarter inch line somewhere... thumbs up tho..

@LostWax

@@Xxmeca421xX To be honest, I tried a bunch of others and the best results were from the watch. I think because the piezo is already glued to the stainless steel back, that has something to do with it. If you try and blu just a straight piezo to something, there is a good chance you will end up breaking the piezo. I have installed in my guitar as pickups, but I had to actually super glue them to the guitar to get them to pick up sound. I'd say the smaller the piezo the better. Hope that helps a little- that's just from my very very limited experience!!

I've used these as drum triggers because they are isolated to only surface vibration. I've also used them on acoustics but only in the studio with Focusrite preamps. Unfortunately, the feedback is a problem when playing live, so i use a LR Baggs Lyric or Anthem. Personally, i would love to use a JJB pickup using this design, but couldn't find a way around feedback issues without destroying the sound with EQ.

Very cool. Just discovered your channel. Did the vocals go through the pickup as well?
