Joined: January 2006 Posts: 228 | I will say that adding the Baggs to the Daisy Rock is an excellent idea. Did you do the work yourself? The Daisy Rock Retro H 6-string is an excellent guitar, and I would imagine that the 12 is every bit as good, and the addition of a piezo bridge? Well, that's just brilliant. Here's a quick and dirty take of Eleanor Rigby that I did on a Daisy Rock Retro H into a Vox Pathfinder 10: https://www.yousendit.com/download/T1Vra0ZlYStoeVpjR0E9PQ Bottom line is that I am short on cash, so... But if anyone is looking for a Ric on the cheap, I would bet that that Daisy Rock Retro H 12 w/ piezo would get you at least 90% of the way there. | ||

Joined: January 2006 Posts: 228 | Woody, Is that Baggs on the Daisy Rock set up so one can blend the minihumbuckers with the piezo straight out to the amp via standard cable? | ||

You can also seperate and blend the Mag and Piezo outputs with a three way swich. Take a look at the Uber Deacon I sold to OMA and you'l see how to install the separate piezo saddles into a Schaller one piece bridge. | ||

Joined: July 2010 Posts: 53 Location: USA | MWoody, could you tell me more about your Flame Maple Project Viper? Is that one where you made a custom body, etc? I've always wanted a Viper that had that set neck/double cutaway body. It's a nice group of guitars too! | ||

Joined: July 2010 Posts: 53 Location: USA | I was right then, that Flamy Viper is beautiful. I'd love to get it, not sure if I can right now cause I'm in the process of buying a natural finish/maple neck Viper III. Would be nice to try to figure something out though. How does it sound/play? I can't tell what kind of pickups you have it. So you crafted it yourself? It's beautiful work. I've always wanted to learn the guitar luthier craft. | ||

You can grab a set on Ebay for under $40 and they have a "near Viper" tone. Mini sized pups are also made by Seymour Duncan, Gibson and will fit the Ovation pups. | ||

Joined: July 2010 Posts: 53 Location: USA | Cool, so you can put mini humbuckers in Ovations without routing, I never knew that. Well, I don't want to turn this into an OT thing. I'll have to see if you still have the Flamy Viper in a couple months, it sounds like a fun guitar. | ||

Uh, I think that you are missing the point of the concept of "For Sale" (that's just me thinking out loud) | ||
