Hi Tom and Al,

Last year you made a Zuess for me.

It's a brilliant instrument! Playing the Zuess is one of life's simple pleasures.

I'm after some advice. I would like to add a pickup and have been looking at the kavanjo. Is this a reasonable option or is there other options that are worth exploring.

Either way I am going to need a bracket to hold the jack plug.

Could you please let me know the price for the bracket and if you sell a pickup system the price for this as well.

The three pickups are housed into a single piece within the banjo and have separate controls which mount to your frame. Pricing is at $499. The bracket you speak of can be ordered through us for $25. I am not familiar with the Kavanjo, but several members of this group I know are using the Fishman Rare Earth. I'll post photos of the Acoustic Harness here.

My Zeus has been set up for a warm sound, I have a Fender Acoustasonic amp. The sound I'm looking for through the system is a warmer 'Fleck' sound as opposed to the toppy 'Scruggs' sound. I'm assuming the controls will be able to wind back the high frequency a little to warm the tone a touch. Could you please advise the freight cost to Coffs Harbour Australia
