Anyone 'lectrify their F-40 / F-40T?

[LesB3]

If so, any suggestions or tips?

Seems like a LR Baggs Anthem is a popular choice with manufacturers... but would like something as minimally invasive as possible.

Appreciate anything that anyone who has done the same or similar can offer.

Also there are many threads about what people have installed. That said, there are fewer discussions about why something was selected and not an alternative. If you want to avoid some of the chaff you might search on a specific model or technology.

I am certainly prepared to have people tell me I am wrong but as far as I can tell there is really no data or even discussion that focuses on the guitar model. By design the pickups are supposed to be generic and not model specific so if it works on an F40 it will work on a F30 or a D25 or a D55 and so on.

Thanks! Saw that one too...

Yeah, I know, but there was enough people in the other thread saying "I tried XYZ on my one guitar and it was fine, but on another one garbage" that I figured I'd see if anyone had any direct experience with adding it to an F-40. Might just have to buy another Guild with a pickup installed instead!!
