How to fit a piezo pickup and preamp into an acoustic guitar. The LC-5

How to fit a piezo pickup and preamp into an acoustic guitar and make it into an electro-acoustic guitar. I’ve done the same project with a Fishman Presys Blend 301 pickup and preamp In this project I fit a piezo pickup and mic, LC-5 equalizer preamp into an acoustic guitar or in other words, I make an acoustic guitar into an electro-acoustic guitar. The preamp also has the addition of a microphone socket and a control to balance the sound of the mic with the sound of the pickup making it very flexible. The results are an acoustic guitar that can be plugged straight into an amplifier, mixing desk or effects for easy recording or good live performance. I did this project with a cheap guitar so I can see what the results were going to be like without potentially ruining an expensive guitar, however I was very impressed with the sound the preamp produced. My only criticism after using the guitar for a while was that the battery like in this preamp was very poor.
