I'm installing a pickup and the instructions say to put the battery pack somewhere flat and out of sight.

Where do you guys usually put it?

It's a Shatten pickup I'm installing.

Thanks

I usually put them underneath the fingerboard. You can reach inside through the soundhole with a couple fingers and pull the battery out to change without even loosening the strings.

Battery box makes a neat and easy to change solution too, without having to loosen strings. Mine is near the tail block.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

I do the same as Colin.
I get them from Stew-Mac.

I was curious if anyone maounted the battery pack near the tail block to help balance a neck heavy guitar. Maybe the batteries are light enough that this isn't an issue, not sure.
