good god no. a multiple piezo like a K&K or JJB will sound better than a bridge mounted bar style. (IMHO) Plus why would you disable the bridge adjustment if you don't have to? His trick of resting the saddle on the outside isn't going to do much since he superglued the pickup in. Add to that the risky jack socket location and cutting out a chunk of a mandolin for the preamp and I'm left with a big helping of nope. If you take the cheapest components possible and put them in the cheapest instrument possible what is going to happen? I'm not saying you need to go spend a Benjamin on a K&K, but that installation is not going to "sound better than anything else in the world".
Good grief I thought this forum would be safe from Scott Grove.
I'm guessing that you were curious about the part where he pins the ends of the piezo bar down to try to boost the top and bottom end. Interesting idea, but a two-element rig with the elements mounted on the sweet spots will give better results. It usually takes me a half hour or so to decide exactly where I want to mount everything. I stick the elements to the outside of the top and move them around until I'm happy with it, then mount them in the same spot on the inside.
Bear in mind this is all my opinion. As the self professed smartest man in the world said in that video, "if you don't agree with me you're wrong"
I watched for 10 seconds then lost the will to live.
