Acoustic Guitar Pickup Mount

thingiverse

### A mounting system which allows you to attach a single strat-sized guitar pickup to an acoustic guitar. Made to fit 100mm/4" sound holes. The mounting system uses the pickup springs to clamp onto the sides of the sound hole, so no extra screws or tools required! *** ###** PRINTING:** ### Hard parts (PLA, PETG, etc.): - Combined Mount ***OR*** - Mounting Ring - 2x Mounting Bracket ### OPTIONAL: Flexible parts (TPU, etc.) - Combined Insert ***OR*** - Insert Ring - 2x Insert Bracket If your sound hole is smaller than 100mm in diameter you can try scaling the model down, but more than 1%-2% will probably result in the pickup holes being misaligned. *** ### **MOUNTING:** The bottom of the print faces the top. Screw goes through the ring, through the mounting bracket, through the spring and screws into the pickup base. Ring and bracket press into the wood of the guitar from both sides. **(Pic: Assembly pt. 1)** **WARNING!** The hard parts on their own won't provide enough mounting pressure to keep the whole thing in place. It won't fall out due to the shape, but it will spin in place. You need to add some sort of soft material between the ring and the bracket to sandwich the wood in. I provided a set of inserts that you can print out of TPU, but you can also just use electrical tape (like I did in the example pictures), a piece of fabric, or whatever strips of rubber you have laying around. Lower the pickup as much as possible. Flip the brackets above the inner ring, insert the entire thing into the sound hole, flip the brackets back into their slots **(Pic: Assembly pt. 2).** Adjust pickup height to taste. *** ### **CREDITS** Inspired by [ForrestChandler](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2147049) Design by [baldygitt](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2334077) used for size reference Also available on [Prusa Printables](https://www.printables.com/model/487517-acoustic-guitar-pickup-mount)
