I didn't either but thought to call and ask.
I got Spike on the phone and asked about doing a cream dot. He walked over to the shop and asked and they said OK to cream dot but also said it could be done with wood,
and just said to make note of it in the NOTES area at the end of the order.

Thanks!
I'll do detailed pics from out of the box to completion.

So, now it can be done with wood, rofl.  That's the only reason I didn't order a body to build a Warmoth nylon a year ago.  One wonders why this was ever an issue, but I digress. 

Can't wait to see your build... it looks like it'll be awesome!

Just to save the reputation of Piezo pickups, John Petrucci widely uses them and it sounds absolutely fantastic.

5:31 after one of the most amazing solo parts ever (and a big f*** you to those who say Petrucci don't have feeling)

More examples of his great Piezo sound

Now this is of course not nylon strings, but it proves that Piezo pickups aren't all shit.

Interesting and nice playing but there's no way you can tell what it really sounds like with those recordings being so terrible.

Check the original songs then. =)

Posted those to give a more clear image of how they sound live without tons of studio effects.
