J-160e pickups??? P-90 and a piezzo???

Hi everyone,

 

I just bought a 2008 J-160e and I wanted to buy an acoustic pickup to mix with the existing electric pickup already on the J-160e.

 

However, even if it was not mentionned on any specs sheet I read, I notice that there's already an acoustic pickup (probably a piezzo) installed! I can plug a 1/4 cable in the strap button and in the standard J160e input.

 

Does my guitar is modified or it is standard and it's just not mentionned?

 

Thanks!

 

Regards,

Hube

I tried it and looked inside, and there is a piezzo located between the body and the bridge, so I can't see it. I suppose it is genuine.

 

If someone knows something about it, please write!

 

Thank you,

I can't claim to know anything, but that was never standard on a J-160E. I suppose it could have come from the factory that way as a special order, but much more likely the piezo is an aftermarket addition.
