[RWP] My metronome question

[Indigo]

Patrick, after you told us about the piezo speakers in holiday cards, 
I've been saving those, but this time I need about 12 of the same thing, 
to mount a tiny distance below each of 6 strings; probably near the 
bridge and about halfway along the string length.
I'm going to massacre a Korean V M I electric guitar to make a sort of 
chapman stick thingy, so I can happily drum on its fret board
I'll probably saw off both sides of the body so it's a real stick guitar.
I expect the guitarist here are cringing in horror, but believe me this 
one will be  no loss to the guitar world as a conventional guitar, and 
could make a great Chapmanesque stick.
Either piezo electrics, or I could compare their cost to a single really 
great humbucker pickup.
Anybody got one of those they'd sell me?

Thanks,
Indi
