" ... So I wondered if the modest price and time to install a K&K pure mini was worth it. ... "

" ... Strap fits perfectly over the Jack. ... "
" ... A stronger resonance against my body, more distinct string separation, deeper low end and more sustain. ... Even my tuner was noticeably more stable, which seems like pretty convincing proof. ... "
" ... I removed the piezo from the bridge which placed bone on wood which lowered the action which better suited me and gave more than enough volume without preamp. ... "
" ... Buy superglue gel, lock tight gel, a pocket mirror from the dollar store and a reamer toolbit and it's easy peasy. ... "
" ... I used on classical nylon . ... Close is good enough , not a space shuttle . ... "
" ... Unlike a saddle transducer, it picks up the soundboard wood. ... "
" ... Give that gel PLENTY of time to set before you pull that putty/jig off. ... Lastly, this is a great solution for a rear strap lug. ... "

" ... Great product, don’t have to cut your guitar apart, or put it under the saddle, I’ve bought 5 of these have them in all of my acoustic guitars. ... "
" ... It took me 3 tries to get the washer fit perfect but when it was done, it nice and tight, which is maybe one of the most important steps for getting a nice sound with no stray vibrations. ... "

" ... The one-mic suction cup got a lot of sound to supplement the live guitar sound, but the K&K puts three mics to work and give a boost to each string from more booming bass to beautiful ringing trebles and plenty of mid-range. ... "
" ... I cant imagine a sound hole pickup would sound as clean as this does. ... "
" ... A clean install will sound good and you won't make marks in your guitar. ... "
