Electric Oud Build

Hi Everyone!

I am in the process of building my own electric oud and I am very confused about which pickups are meant for acoustic outs, and which are meant for fully electric ouds. Can someone post an eBay link of the proper electronics I need?

Use a saddle transducer, with a preamp designed for flat mounting. Most preamp equalizer control panels are designed to fit on the curve of an acoustic guitar.

this one has an equalizer panel -

this one has no on board controls -

many styles available from $20 to $300

Any luck finding the pickup?
I tried PU-6A SOHO, but it is not working for me, or no luck for me to install it.
If you find pickup working, please share it here.
Thank you
