User questions & answers

Question:	Will it work on a guitar thats 3/4 size
Answer:	I would assume the bridge on a 3/4 size guitar is about the same as on a full sized instrument. That being said I returned the SG-1 because it sounded horrible and didn't fit my OMC28 Martin. You might want to try the AP-2. They sound better but not much. The down side is they use removable putty to attach to the guitar which might mar the finish over time so I returned that one too. Hope this helps you out.
Question:	how much can it be trimmed to fit between pins and saddle
Answer:	No, it shouldn't need to be trimmed. I have a Guild D55 and it fit nicely and sounded fine. However, it is rather delicate. The piece where you plug into broke off so you have to be careful.
Question:	How thick is the wooden portion that slips under your he strings
Answer:	Mine is about 1/16
Question:	Will this pickup work on a Tacoma Roadking? The bridge does not have pins
Answer:	I've measured and the pickup is about 8mm (9/32 of an inch) at it's widest point at the high E string. Without pins in your guitar, I think you will have to measure your guitar to see if it will fit between the saddle and where the strings go into the bridge. And you might contact KNA directly with your question.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do I need an app to connect it to my phone and record the audio
Answer:	no, it's straight analog. 1/3" jack gets plugged into a mixer or amplifier. very good quality
Question:	Will this work for an autoharp
Answer:	Autoharp is a box and string instrument and I believe there will be no problem to use Luvay Piezo pickup with it. I have not seen or played Autoharp, but just googled and looked at it and it looks like a guitar with out a neck, so this item can work with it. Good luck!
Question:	How long is the cord
Answer:	10 ft
Question:	Will this work for nylon strings
Answer:	Yes. It will work on any string instrument, included nylon strings

User questions & answers

Question:

Will the transduser work with nylon strngs on the guitar

Answer:

I believe it will. It acts like a microphone and even picks up voices in the room through the body of the guitar. We have them on two guitars, a big baby Taylor and a Yamaha and they pick up everything. Actually, we had to run them through a mixer because they were almost too sensitive going directly into the pa. Nice unit. Well made. Make sure that they are completely tightened down before installation though. One was a little loose in it's assembly but easy to take care of. All in all, a great product to amplify an instrument with out it's own electronics without modifying the instrument itself.

• Natural and warm sound with wide dynamic range
• Pole Pieces adjustable to obtain the optimum balance and tone
• Volume adjustable and Battery not needed
• Suitable for steel-string guitars, soundhole diameter from 3.54" to 4.33" （90mm to 110mm)

User questions & answers

Question:	will this work on a vintage ovation balladeer without drilling
Answer:	You can't drill a hole in your vintage ovation balladeer. Because the back of the guitar is not made from wood but a composite material. We suggest purchasing NEO-SP30 soundhole pickup or SBT-10 soundboard transducer for your guitar. And please note NEO-SP30 only fit for steel-string acoustic guitars whose soundhole diameter is between 3.82" to 4.33".
Question:	Can I connect this to a loop pedal
Answer:	Yes, you can connect to the loop pedal and then to the amplifier.
Question:	Do I need to loosen the strings to insert it
Answer:	Usually, there is no need to loosen the strings for installation. But if your guitar soundhole diameter is as close to the minimum size that we described (3.82” to 4.33”) or your string is too tight to get through, and it’s not so easy to install the pickup on your guitar, we recommend to loosen the strings for easier installation.
Question:	Can this pickup detect guitar drumming ( hitting the guitar body to make it sound like a drum
Answer:	Yes, it can detect the tapping sound. But the tapping sound from Amumu NEO-SP30/31 is not as big as the sound from Amumu SBT-10 because SBT-10 is a vibration transducing pickup which transduces all the signal from the soundboard and the body. We suggest you try Amumu SBT-10

Product description

Seymour Duncan offers three choices in the Woody Series, but all have the commonality of instant mounting and unmounting, along with a great-looking maple cover that will look unobtrusively fantastic on your guitar. More importantly, if you already love the sound of your acoustic, the Woody Series will passively amplify your sound without anything to detract from it. Especially great for singer-songwriters and folk strummers, the Woody Series offer a moderate response that gives you plenty of amplification while allowing your guitar to blend nicely with vocals and other instruments. All Woody Series pickups will fit nearly any acoustic guitar's soundhole, with a radius range from 3.85" to 4.10". They're also priced to fit the budgets of most musicians, and are a much more affordable alternative to buying a mic for acoustic amplification.

• Quick mount, passive, magnetic soundhole pickup
• Single coil, moderate output
• Instant-mount, housed in walnut cover
• Double potted, warm and rich tone with no 60-cycle hum
• Great for strumming and delicate fingerstyle playing

User questions & answers

Question:	Question #1. Is this a microphone or piezo? and #2 does this have feedback issues
Answer:	I don't recomend this Oripure pickup, it has a uneven strings sounds. Some strings sound louder than others.
Question:	Which is better this or muslady acoustic guitar sound hole pickup dual pickup modes piezo + mic supports volume tone adjusting phase function
Answer:	Can't say.
Question:	Description says "no hole making", yet the female jack appears to be designed for mounting in a hole in the body. Which is it
Answer:	They mean no hole made in the top of the guitar where the pickup is situated. You can simply plug a cable into the female jack and let the wiring hang out of the soundhole. If your guitar already has an endpin jack installed then just use the existing hole. Otherwise, you DO have to drill a hole for the end pin jack
Question:	What size hole do I have to drill to mount the endpin jack? There were no instructions received with the unit
Answer:	Check on Fishman Pickup website, see user installation guide PDF format... gives all dimensions. Note of caution: the endpin jack with this unit may not be deep enough to go all the way through the endblock of your guitar so you will need to use a different end pin jack than the one provided. Best to have competent guitar repair person have a look first...

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone had trouble with the single coil buzzing or any other kind of noise
Answer:	Single coil pickups are generally selected because of the unique clarity of the tone they produce, but the trade off is hum, this can be made worse when playing near a dimmer switch or fluorescent lighting, which leak energy, even a bad cable can introduce... they easy remedy is to try to eliminate any sources of leaking electricity, but you may be happier by using a noise gate, which are a common pedal, and shuts of the guitar signal unless a preset amount of signal is present, this way the hum is only there when you are playing and would be less noticeable
Question:	is this the same as FSM PREP
Answer:	I am not familiar with the Prep102 but I have been using the Rare Earth in my '73 Martin D-35 and I am very happy with it.Loyal
Question:	Are the actual dimensions 0.5 x 2 x 3 inches? 3" seems not wide enough
Answer:	That's a typo in the shipping information. This pickup fits a standard-size sound hole (3 3/4 inch) nicely. I think the low end of the sound hole sizing would be around 3 1/2 inches. Nice product - sounds and looks good, and it clamps safely in place. I have several of these pickups, both active and passive, and I'm pleased with all of them.
Question:	I'd like to use this pickup with a classical guitar. Does it work with nylon strings
Answer:	This pickup is a magnetic pickup, which requires steel strings. It will not work on a nylon string guitar.
