I've just fixed the preamp on my acoustic guitar. Damaged it before when replacing the battery connector (PP9 thing- was hanging on by a thread!).

I killed one of the contacts on the connector to the circuit board when I first attempted it.

It's a bit of a botch job (wires are held in place with insulating tape to ensure they don't wobble and break the connection), but it works!

Spot of a clean to the whole thing. Lemon oil to the fretboard, new strings and I'm away. Bit of fastfret on the strings and lovely. They're a bit zingy at the moment, but will mellow in- I love new strings on the electrics, but not so much on the acoustic. I'm wondering if 12 guage is a touch light though.

Great- I'll be free to terrorise the open mic nights in the new year...
