Looking good so far.
What pickup/pre-amp combination do you plan to use?

Thanks Sazi!
The Oud player is going to buy the pickup and give it to me for installation, it will be a piazo (under suddle) one
Any recomendations/tips for me?
Thanks.

Hi Yaron, just had a quick look around, and think maybe something from here might be suitable. They have a good reputation, but I haven't tried it
myself...

Or perhaps here might be better, they also have a good reputation. They have an under-saddle pickup for 12 string which would suit the wide string
spacing of an oud... check out the AG series.

P.S. I know a couple of oudists who use Fishman transducers and they are very happy with them.
This one looks interesting...
