Hi everyone!!!
This is my first tread, I'm an italian guitarist, and a I play in a progressive metal band called GS Dichotomy.
Of course I own two Music Man guitars: JP6 and Jp7.

Now I've purchased a third guitar, that I want to use tuned in D.
It's a Godin Solidac.

My idea was to mount on this guitar a three way switch to flip bewteen piezo e magnetics pickups, like I do with my 2 Petrucci's, but one liuther in my city told me that it's not possible at all, another liuther told me that he need schematics for the 2 guitars...

So, what do you all think about it?
I've already mailed Godin to ask schematics for their guitar, anyone can tell me where to search for JP models schematics?

Thank you all in advance,
and good year!!!

Thanks a lot, Spudmurphy!!
Unfortunatelly my liuther says that it's not possible at all to do that thing on my Godin, just because there's that sophisticated printed circuitery in wich output jacks are solded in.
He've tried to connect the three way switch in the Godin, and it works if you want to listen the piezo OR the dimarzios, but when you try to use both it come out of phase and it's unusable.

Any suggestion about it?

Honestly, the EBMM forum is the wrong forum for this. You're talking about a Godin guitar with an LR Baggs piezo system, And the LR Baggs piezo system will be very different to an EBMM system. I suggest you ask on the LR Baggs and Godin forums because they'll be more knowledgeable about those things than any of us here. Many of them may have already done exactly the mod you need.

Good luck!

BTW, welcome to the EBMM forum family! Forum rule - your JPs don't exist without pictures! :)

Sorry, DrKev, I'm still finding a way to add a pic to my profile....
I hope you all can see this pic below... this is me with my two babies:)

About the topic of this thread, yes, I've understand that LR Baggs piezo system is very different from EBMM's one.... still waiting for a replay from Godin, but now (thanks to your suggestion) I'll write to LR Baggs directly, too.

Thanks!!

PS: I'm a super huge EBMM fan... my third guitar is a Godin only because I needed a third guitar and just could afford to buy a third Petrucci or even a Silho.
