GS mini pickup question
I know it’s been covered in numerous topics. I’ve won a GS Mini Hog on eBay and want to put a soundhole pickup in it. I’ve heard numerous bad tales about him associated with the ES GO.
I’m probably going to go with a Baggs M1a or Fishman Rare Earth but May push the boat out for a M80 or RE Blend. My question is can I cut off the end pins on these pickups and install this end pin in its place to allow for a proper fit on the GS Minis endpin.. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F281723950097 Has anyone done this?

I've always been comfortable with using the Fishman jacks and I went to the hardware store and found a thin stainless steel washer that completely covered the area where the Taylor end pin was screwed in place. I had to file the washer center hole a bit to fit the standard Fishman jack, but I felt much more comfortable with that as opposed to the Ebay offerings. |

Timely question. I've been messing with my Taylor GS Mini with ES Go pickup today. The pickup and jack are connected together by a 1/8" jack and cable that runs from the output jack. With an adapter, you could plug something else into that 1/8" jack.
The ES Go makes my Taylor sound like an electric guitar. On a whim, I tried the guitar plugged into a Zoom G1Xon effects pedal and selected the acoustic sim setting. It sounds very good! I may keep the ES Go. |
