Add M-80 to a Lyric
Removed my M-80 from my OM-15 and put in the Lyric. Thinking about adding the M-80 to it. Believe it would be a good sound. Can anyone give me some instruction on how to do this. I've never used a saudering iron by the way!!

I think I recall reading that the unused contact on the Lyric jack can only be used with a passive pickup. I believe the M80 can be either passive or active, so might want to take that into consideration. Soldering isn't that difficult, but if you've never done it, I would recommend taking it to someone else to do it. There are lots of things that can go wrong.

Don't use your original M80 wire/jack. Keep that for another guitar.
Buy these: Mogami 2330 audio low noise shielded wire and Switchcraft 780 2-conductor miniature phone plug, shielded handle. There is a pad for a second pickup on the Lyric. Take the Lyric and your new supplies to someone who can solder. I've soldered 2 or 3 pickups in the last year and ruined them all. If you're lucky you can watch your guy do the soldering and learn. I can't be taught, but you're probably a lot smarter than me. And you will have to use the M80 in passive mode. I think all this will work, but I'm not sure. |

got a note from LR Baggs
I sent an email to LR Baggs and 20 min later got an answer. (those guys are great). Sent me a diagram with some instructions. Before i do that I just ordered a cord to plug into the M-80 and run out the sound hole. Gonna pair it with the lyric and also try it with my K&K pick ups and see what I like best before I actually "install" it for good. Thanks for the help!

Have you heard Doug Young's samples of the Lyric with a K&K? Sounds great!
