For this reason, I don't think I would buy it again.- The pickup I used was this: amazon.com/Alnicov-3-String-Guitar-Pickup-Humbucker/dp/B08HMXSBQ8It's great and I would happily buy it again.- This is the bridge I ended up using: amazon.com/TUOREN-Adjustable-Hard-tail-Tailpiece-Replacement/dp/B0C1NCNT2R
