Pickup, Transducer help for an Electric Oud

Edward6311 - 2-6-2021 at 09:34 AM

I am attempting to build a solid body electric Oud. I am having problems finding a pickup or transducer that works well
with a solid body and nylon strings? I know devices exist for electric Ouds that are not a hollow body but wondering which works best in regards to sound. Hoping it would come with volume and tone.

Thanks
Edward

My friend Jose Neto (http://joseneto.com/) has played a Paradis guitar for many years. This is a solid-body nylon string guitar that's has an amazing (classical guitar) sound for an electric guitar. Perhaps their technology is available.
