so i recently started dicking around on my seven again and i finally got new batteries for the things piezo.
i plugged it in and started twangin, using the piezo selection, but my low seventh string wasnt making any noise. upon closer inspection when i looked at the bridge, i found this...
as you can see, where the string should be resting on the piezo pickup, the pickup is not even there, it seems to have fallen off all together. the electronic components are clearly visible under the string.
im not too savvy on what exactly to call that thing (lets call it the string saddle, even though it was part of the piezo) but i really have no idea where to find this thing. is it something that i can just quickly replace if i have a replacement part? or is the wiring for the piezo something i should only trust someone experienced with?
i dont gig with this (yet) so time is not really an issue, and the guitar still plays well through the magnetic pickups. the only hinderance really is that the low string feels sloppy, and 'slides' around a little too much for my liking. thanks in advance guys!
