About a year ago, I had my trusted luthier put a Graph Tech Ghost piezo + Acoustiphonic preamp system into my CE24 Semi-hollow (the purple one in my avatar). It's amazing, and I play it all the time. I need acoustic tones sometimes, because our church just doesn't have a regular acoustic player and so I'll pick up some of the acoustic parts when the time is right. I also have an SE Hollowbody II but it just doesn't gel with me. I like it but I don't love it, and I think it's the way the hollow body plays with the clean tones; my SE 594 sounds different despite having the same pickups.
I'm researching whether that's possible on the McCarty 594 SE. The bridge is KINDA Tune-o-matic style, which makes me think that it MIGHT be possible. Graph Tech makes TOM-style piezo bridges. But I'm curious if anyone here has ever replaced the bridge on an SE594. Is the spacing the same as either the import/metric or USA/imperial Gibson TOM? If so great, but if not, I'm kinda stuck I guess.
Anyway, if anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
