Fishman Triple Play Connect Pickguard Mount

thingiverse

A circuit board button mount for the Fishman Triple Play connect. This as a prototype, and I assume there aren't many interested in this level of guitar surgery on a precious instrument. :) But there might be someone out there making a guitar who wants the Fishman MIDI system but didn't want a fiddly external controller box. This may help with your first steps. This is only a board mount with buttons that matches with the T.P.C. layout, it mounts to the pickguard and gives functional buttons for mode switching. For install I reused the mounting screws on the 3d printed part, the holes are tighter than they needed for the screws, you can either thread or chase the holes with a 1.5-2mm drill bit before screwing board on. Limitations on this design: (This was me prototyping a headless MIDI guitar, and where I hit the "Good Enough" stage.) 1. Pickguard mounting, how I mounted involves finding your location and gluing it to the back of a pickguard. So a bit of permanent solution, you may want to add something else. 2. MIDI Volume Controls aren't adjustable once installed, since I'm a hack guitarist, I dime the MIDI volume on the controls and adjust string sensitivity in the Fishman software. 3. You will have to come up with a midi jack solution for your guitar, Ive attached pictures of how I handled the problem, but depending on what you want to install this on, there isn't a one size fits all solution. Good Luck!
