Battery mount. better option?
I gotta say I'm tired of the velcro/battery bag setup coming loose and falling inside the guitar. Seems like 9 of 10 guitars do it. I even got a Gibson in the other day that had a screw through the velcro to hold it (from the factory). Everybody knows it's a problem. I've tried cleaning the wood first with Naptha. I've heard you can paint some finish under the velcro to keep it sticking, but that adds time to the repair. I like the old metal battery clip the best, but not sure if drilling holes in the neck block is the best option.
Any creative solutions?

I've never had that as a problem. The new sticky velcro pads are usually pretty good. The wood needs to be well dusted first.
A solution is to go with a passive pickup and an external pre-amp. Less stuff inside your guitar.

I get guitars in all the time where the battery bags are flopping around inside the guitar. Not necessarily those I've installed, but some have been. I usually just clean the wood well before, but I got the idea of using a little bit of finish on the wood from LR Baggs. I'm gonna start doing that and see if I get any more back. I'm a Baggs dealer so I may be doing an above average # of these.
