Hi all, just a question. My luthier asked me if I want a bone saddle on a tricone. Do you think that could improve the sound or is it better the keep the one made in wood? Thanks for your replies, we need some help here in Spain 😁.

The Amistar original tricone pickup is under the T-bridge glued into an epoxy filling. Hard to remove or repair. Thanks for the info!

Hi Gaucho, thanks for your answer. I might go for a National PU and replace tele neck pick up that is completely useless fort the tricone, and also for the telecaster by the way.

Hi Rosantu. I have a highlander on my Busker tricone, it is good as we all know, if a bit of a chore to set up. On my Amistar 12 string I used a MM Sixtus humbucker pickup. I found it easy to fit, like you replacing a bridge pickup that had been removed, so I was able to use the existing jack. It's VERY clean sounding and I personally like it as much as the Highlander. I run it through my Fishman Jerry Douglas Aura, results are excellent. Hope this helps. Best wishes to you all, John Ps. It's only my opinion but the Sixtus on a reso will sound way better than a piezo and its easier to fit.

Hi Michael, thanks for your answer. Unfortunately highlander are not available any more. And I need something to amplify it. A piezo is far better than the telecaster neck pick up. I was thinkik of a piezo and install a myers goos pick up and use the blend system of the amistar to mix both pickups. They told about headway pickups may be you know about them. I had a schatten for tricone and it was quite horrible. Of course, if highlanders were available i'd go for one for sure.

Hi there, I guess someone stole my piezo pickup from my amistar tricone. Since I came back from England the piez doesn't work anymore so today I opened it and found one lead cut. Does someone know where this piezo should be located?

Should her an easy fix. Those have a 3 piece neck and the heel is a separate piece. Any reputable luthier should be able to handle that... Thanks Gaucho, seems we don't have any reputable luthier in the area I live. Or they don't want to take the risk...

Hi all! I'm Robert and I live in Spain, where unfortunately it is difficult to find a luthier for our resonators... the heel is separated from the neck, more or less 2 mm. Does anyone knows if it can be fixed or is it better to buy another Republic tricone?
