Guitulele (tech question as well)

BastardofYoung · 08-27-2012, 02:47 PM

I picked up a Yamaha GL1 Guitulele recently... and am loving the playability of it. For such a cheap instrument (mine was $115 with tax) they are really fun.

Now, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of pick up would be best to install in something like this. I would like to use it to record some stuff on my computer, as I have a ZOOM pedal that allows me to plug right to my lap top.

specs:

WEIGHT: 3.2
HEIGHT: 4
LENGTH: 28.75
WIDTH: 12
AVAIL: Jan
SERIES: Guitar Ukulele
BODY STYLE: Tenor Ukulele
TOP: Spruce
BACK & SIDES: Meranti
NECK WOOD: Nato
FINGERBOARD: Sonokeling
FRETS: 18
BRIDGE: Sonokeling
SCALE LENGTH: 17
CASE INCL: Yes
PICKGUARD: No

I was looking into something like this for a pick up:EMG Acoustic Saddle Pickup System - Narrow | Musician's Friend

anything anyone can tell me, help me make a more educated choice on what to do with it?
