    Need a Piezo system for my Petrucci project guitar?

    I bought an OLP Petrucci model and have upgraded everything possible but am disappointed that I cannot buy the EBMM piezo bridge for the finishing touch!

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a Piezo system that would work well in the OLP JP?

    Thank you!

    With the price you're going to end up paying to upgrade the OLP, couldn't you have just bought a used JP6 with the piezo in it?

    that kind of takes away the fun of the "project" doesnt it.

    catalina makes a wilkinson style bridge with piezo. ive heard the piezo sounded good but ive never felt what hte trem itself feels like.

    I can highly recommend the graphtech Ghost system with the Acoustiphonic preamp.
    GEAR:
    - 1993 Silo in Cherryburst with Floyd
    - Roland VG-99

    well said.

    I've had piezo bridge systems. Unless you find a factory installed EBMM equipped guitar, you'll never realize the pleasure. I've owned a Silo w/ a pro fishman install. Still sounded/acted like a compromise.
