Introduction
Since a soundboard vibrates differently in different places, you
can get different sounds by carefully selecting the spot where you
mount the pickup.
Section 4.3 describes proven techniques that you may want to use
as starting points for your own experiments.
4.2
Attaching the Pickup to the Instrument
If you are going to attach the pickup to a lacquered surface, check
the condition of the lacquer coat first.
If the lacquer coat is porous or cracked, the adhesive compound
will lose some of its tack and may damage the lacquer coat further
when you remove the pickup.
