Re: Pickup for a '22 Gibson A-2
I think 11626 is 1912. It's your mandolin, and you can do what you want with it. An endpin jack makes it less collectible, but as you say, you want to play it, rather than keep it in a display case. Be aware that you're impairing its market value to a collector (or a musician sensitive to historical preservation), but you may actually enhance its value as a "player's instrument."
