Kmise 5 Band Acoustic Guitar Preamp EQ Equalizer Piezo Pickup Tuner Amplifier LCD Mic 1 Set

Working good on Yanaha acoustic

Not working product l,and a pretty long period for the return and refunds. Quite painful. Better to buy things which are available directly with the amazon rather than the direct seller.

I got this bridge pickup in the mail two days ago and I installed it on my Puerto Rican Cuatro. I was very nervous about cutting into the body of the guitar since I'd never done one. However, after watching a YouTube video on installing a bridge pickup on an acoustic guitar, I was able to do it. I cannot stress enough to take your time with it and do it right. Be sure to check for any bracing that might be affected by it and make your adjustments that way. I used painter's tape to protect the finish of the guitar while I cut the opening. I also made some templates of the pickup and battery pack and then traced them onto the taped area (See pictures) after all was installed, I used the provided screws to secure the module in place and tighten them by hand. They are not the best in quality and very tiny so again, take your time with it. To cut out the opening, I used a dremel tool with a cut off wheel. I couldn't be happier with the end result and the sound controls are fantastic!. For the price, it's a no brainer! If you're handy with tools and crafty, this is a go for you!

Got here quick box was undamaged and was the second one i bought first one for my Denver guitar and the second one was for my son guitar and they both worked amazing and I know that this work well and easy to install will order more as needed

Lo utilicé para convertir mi guitarra acústica en electroacústica

worked great no problems so far whatso ever, I watched DYI videos on it first, then went at it , taped up everything .I just cut holes with drilling a few holes so I could fit blade to my hacksaw then carefully did around edges of holes with a file ,as I never had a Dremel , Quite well worth the 27$ cad I paid IMO

I replaced a dead B Band preamp in my Washburn classical guitar. I was able to use the same cut out but had to enlarge it quite a bit. I was able to match the contour of the guitar pretty well. I made a template and used painter's tape to protect the finish. I tried a Dremel tool to enlarge the opening but that was slow and dusty with a cut off disc. I ended up using a quality variable speed jigsaw (think yellow and black) with a fine tooth blade. The painter's tape prevents splintering of the wood. I cut to the inside of the line on the template and finished up with a sanding block and files. It was a tight fit but there isn't much room for error so better safe than sorry. The piezo that came with the preamp was thick and short. I tried to order something flatter and longer but when it arrived it was about the same length as the one I already had so I returned it. I tried another one but it was dead. I finally ended up using the original one that came with the preamp. I had to modify the saddle a lot and drill another hole in the bridge in order to fit the pickup correctly under the strings and route the cable to the preamp. The battery compartment and inputs required enlarging the opening that was already there. I didn't have any options about where to place this component because of the opening that was already there. This must be placed with the contour of the guitar body. Once everything was installed I plugged in and tested it. The piezo alone is very plucky. Blended with the mic it's actually pretty nice. The tuner seems to be functional but kinda like "nothing, nothing,then sharp, then nothing, then flat. The power button turns off the light and tuner but the the pickup and controls still work with the power off. I assume this means the battery is activated by inserting the plug into the input jack. (So be sure to unplug the cable or you'll drain the battery.) Over all I don't regret doing this project but it is not something you want to attempt unless you are confident in your skills. Cutting openings in a quality instrument is not for the faint of heart or novice. This preamp and pickup kit is inexpensive and that is appealing but I was apprehensive about the quality. Time will tell about the long term quality but it looks good and with some tweaking, it actually sounds good. It would be easier to install if they provided a template and if the piezo pickup wasn't so thick. I had to modify the saddle quite a bit. I notched the saddle to accommodate the pickup rather than sanding the saddle all the way because that would have made the saddle unstable in the slot. Good luck with your installation. I think you might be happy with the sound.
