Re: (Godin A8) Pickup battery runs out very quickly
Forgive me (all!) for being a bit over-simplistic but... I trust that, even if not amplifying, you ARE un-plugging from the instrument when not performing? In most cases, the jack itself serves as the on/off switch for the on-board electronics.
FWIW, I play a specific guitar amplified for usually 2 hours per week, and batteries tend to last well past a year, maybe closer to two.
Follow-up thought: Is there a built-in tuner that you're leaving on while performing? Many of those need 3 or 5 minutes of no signal to automatically turn themselves off if you don't do it manually.
