Wasn’t the original question referred to the fingerboard extensions ?
Mostly useless are the extended frets. However, I make use of them for a pick-up installation, with no putty or glue or drilled holes:
The Definity sometimes requires a preamp to match the input impedances of some amps. With my Henriksen, it produced too much output, overloaded the input, and I had to keep the volume at “1” which gave me no volume flexibility. Adding a K&K preamp solved that problem. The pickup had NO problem with amps with 2 inputs, the low gain input always solving the problem. So I can use the K&K with both my Quilter amp and Fender Princeton Reverb Reissue without a preamp.
Hey rad, what holds the pickup if you don't use glue or screws or putty? thx
PS- I didn't even think about adding the extension on the D holes that I've built but I never play that far up...
The pickup is wood. I carved grooves on both sides, and it slid right in. It is a Seymore Duncan 'Woody', made for acoustics. It is bright and clear, and it works really well.
Rad!!
