bolero Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 does anyone have a diagram of how the 6 individual saddle pickups connect to the internal wiring on an SAE model Heritage? I assume the "normal" circuit is isolated from the SAE? so the 2 regular pickups + tone + vol knobs work normally just like any other guitar, and then the SAE line connects to the other side of the stereo output jack, as a line-out? so you can plug a mono cable in & use it with any guitar amp...or plug in a stereo cable, use some kind of splitter and run the acoustic/SAE it's own? any help appreciated!! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acoustic saddles could be wired individually for MIDI, or ganged for just the acoustic side; mine was just acoustic. I want to say that you could blend the acoustic with the magnetics if you used a mono cable, but it's been a while since I had my SAE and can't verity that statement. Stereo cable split it to two outs - magnetic and acoustic; that I can verify. edit: I can say that on the acoustic side it needed a good DI with a Volume (LR Baggs ParaDI worked great).

bolero Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 midi....wow never thought of that option... I would like to keep it stock & have the other stuff on it's own...I wonder if I need to come up with a vol/tone/switch etc for the SAE portion hiding it in the F hole could work, I don't want to modify the structure of the gtr thx tulk!!

hinesarchtop Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Chris, did you get an SAE? Please post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 You're not making your own SAE, are you? Otherwise, it'll come pre-wired pretty much as described. I've thought of adding a ghost bridge to some of my other guitars. Lots of options for wiring if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
