Removing B-Band Pickup
Has anyone tried removing a B-Band pickup from a guitar? Thinking I really have no need for it want to take it out but don't want to destroy it in the process.

You might want to post this in the Acoustic Amplification section or ask the mods to move it for you as it might get a quicker response there. Just a thought.

3 years ago i talked to a local luthier and he could not remove it completely (as in remove the barndoor EQ controls) but he could disconnect it. so he installed a LR Baggs Lyric pickup that then connected to my strap button/connection and disconnected the B-Band. the controls remained (disconnected and useless), but the guitar sounded much better. i suppose it might be possible to replace with a barndoor style pickup that fit exactly the same but otherwise would be quite a mess to fill/remove in a tasteful way (at least that's what my luthier said at the time).

This system has the two little wheels that sit under the bass side of the sound hole and I think are used to control volume and tone. I just think I need to remove the whole thing right now. Don't want extra things lying around inside the guitar, especially the battery which could leak if not checked regularly, which means taking the strings off or loosening enough to squeeze my hand in there.

Does it have just the undersaddle pickup, or also the sound board transducer that sticks on the bridgeplate? If so, that should peel off quite easily.

Actually since this is a new (preowned) guitar for me, I don't know exactly what it has... I suppose I should get that little dental mirror out and peer under the saddle. Would it possible have both UST and bridgeplate? I will look under the saddle next time I get a chance, possibly later today.
