Strat fixed bridge piezo options?

[PGR]

Hi there!

Everybody a Happy New Year!

I am thinking of assembling a tele style guitar with a strat type fixed bridge, but I also would like to include a piezo system.

What options are available?

I know of the following:

L-R Baggs - x-bridge fixed bridge
- pros: complete assembly
- cons: different mounting holes compared to standard strat fixed bridge

Ghost saddles
- pros: can be mounted on an existing bridge
- cons: has a wire for each saddle (I intend to use a rear routed body, so these wires might be difficult to hide and installation will be more difficult)

Does anybody know of more options?

Note: I do not want a tremolo!

Thanks!

I routed them through a VS100, and while it was tedious since I did it with a hand file, it wasn't that difficult.  Totally invisible from the front. Of course, I had a tremolo cavity to route the wires through into the control cavity. That portion might require a little more thought on a true hard tail.

Thx, but I do not want a tremolo and I want a rear routed body, which makes the gap to bridge withe the wires even larger if I would want to rout them via the bridge pup cavity.

Anyone knows of more options / piezo bridges?

Understood. I'm just saying it's very doable. With the ghost plugs, you'll need to drill a hole big enough for one plug + 5 wires - from memory it's around 1/4" drill bit or so.
