Thanks man Tonewood is Awesome. It does add a bit of weight to the Acoustic. It Worth the quality sound.

You are welcome..

So do the negative ends of the battery go in first.

I hear ya bro... I wouldn't put one in an expensive guitar. The end results is damaged wood inside your guitar, and in the end all you really have is built in effects for your guitar because at high volumes you get annoying feedback. This idiot already has a pickup too. I also didnt care for the extra weight the batteries added, which throws the guitar off balance. Good money maker for somebody but I think smart people steer clear of this. Your "tone would" sound better without it.

You can use it without the stickys yes. And I'm telling you right now this thing is really cool and it dont hurt your guitar. If you left it on permanent it might but if you just take it off after playing it cant possibly hurt the wood. Also the sticky stuff is not strong stick it barley just holds it till you put the amp on. Admittedly I dont have a 5000 guitar but it's my baby and I play it 1000x more than I used to with the tonewood. To me its life changing. But even that said if you have a electric acoustic I dont understand why people would want this . It does the job for the non electric real acoustic tho. Its deff worth the money

you can. it's just not as strong as if you were using the adhesive. rock on

It controls the gain/volume from the pickup going into the tonewood.

theres one that they come with pickups if you don't have a jack

It's cool af with the pick up they sell dont know why anyone would even want it on a electric in the first place. Only set back is the wire but it dont bother me its deff worth it brother

X brace holds the unit in place.

armstronglance No it’s not required actually! Just buy a acoustic electric pickup :) you fit it above the sound hole and it goes out to a 1/4 inch jack to plug in an amp (in this case the tonewood amp!) You don’t have to get this exact fender one, this is just an example. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/0992275000--fender-cypress-acoustic-pickup-single-coil-natural?mrkgadid=3331289660&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gpla&mrkgbflag=0&mrkgcat=guitars&&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=92700046934876918&lid=92700046934876918&ds_s_kwgid=58700005283398542&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007215323&dsproductgroupid=565609246472&product_id=0992275000&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=%7Bproduct_store_id%7D&device=m&network=g&matchtype=&locationid=%7Bloc_phyiscal_ms%7D&creative=332063179818&targetid=aud-371863008218:pla-565609246472&campaignid=1709882817&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIusTQ0ei56AIViJ6fCh2g3gtjEAQYASABEgI5g_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I think it works on an ordinary non picked guitar. It works with or without. The tone wood has its own sensors.

Dan Gatton Pretty sure it has to touch the wood cause that’s where the vibrations start

@@snowblind7758 its hooked into the Mic jack

Dan Gatton Yes, but the box sends out the vibrations, If you will, and it goes throughout the guitar and comes out of the sound hole.

Dan Gatton I see exactly what you’re saying though lol I’m a bit confused myself 😅 now that I think about it..

@@snowblind7758 I think its a amazing lil gadget. Im going to cut the sound hole Larger so it fits inside.. lol that will solve it

If you mean arched back as in an ovation, celebrity or rogue style plastic bowl backed guitars..... I don't know, and that is a great question. I wouldn't think it wouldn't be able to seat properly to the back of the guitar. But if you mean arched as in solid wood or laminate that has a slight arch to it, it should work fine. Maybe you could give a model number of the guitar in question.

Ovation Applause round back?

It does not obstruct any bracing if that is your consern. As long as you do your due diligence on your specific guitar. Make sure you feel around an see the topography of the inside of yours. It could as you said "straddle" some.

@@tracecharles5363 'Straddle', not obstruct. From a cutaway video (From TWA) I see that the x brace DOES straddle the last cross brace at the end of the guitar. (Depending on the guitar of course) But thanks for the reply. Your video DID show what the sound can be like with this unit and helped me decide to get one. Especially now that there's a great sale going on and free shipping. Peace!

Validity lol

Childish af. Not even almost funny. Are you like, 8 or something? Not sure how your brain went there if you aren't.

Your welcome. How did the installation go?

Just ordered the k&k pure mini...will be installing it as soon as it arrives. I've had my Tonewood amp for over a year now, but the only acoustic guitar I have with a pickup is a 12 string Takamine. The pickup is aftermarket, but not k&k. Tonewood amp sounds fantastic with it, but I bought it to use primarily with my six string. If you haven't yet tried it with the k&k, I can let you know how I think the combination sounds after I install mine, though from what I've heard, the two of them together sound sweet.

@@davemakarchuk5127 What's the update? I've got K&K in my Larrivee and was wondering how it would sound.

@@richardwheeler3768 overall it sounds excellent. However, I found that on every effect setting (i.e., hall, leslie, 2 rooms, etc.), I had to lower the gain and feedback settings substantially in order to avoid getting actual feedback from the amp. That is, compared to my 12 string, which is a larger dreadnought size guitar that also has a passive style aftermarket pick-up, though I'm not sure which brand. My six string (Simon and Patrick Concert Hall Showcase Mahogany Burnt Umber) is quite a bit smaller. I think having to reduce the gain and feedback settings on the TA when using with the six string is more about the size of the guitar and less about the type of pick-up, though it could be a little of both. Anyway, once I played around with the TA settings long enough to figure out what worked best with each effect, I was happy with the result (I've experimented with all of them, but I use the delay effect primarily, which sounds awesome btw). Hope that helps.

@@davemakarchuk5127, that really does help. I have a Larrivee Grand Auditorium, and hearing that your 6-string is also smaller, that gives me an honest comparison. I'm glad that you like it!

Cool idea

@@tracecharles5363 I've figured out a method where there is also less weight: Use the x-brace supplied (or make a new one), attach 1/3 sized (or smaller) magnets to the larger magnets. Add sticky tape to the small magnets, place the brace in the guitar. Remove the brace, leaving behind the smaller magnets. Add 4 magnets that make those smaller magnets in the guitar roughly equal to those on the original x-brace. Repeat this process for any guitars you wish to install the amp on. The only cost is that of the magnets, unless you build a new brace, cheap either way. Be careful when attaching/detaching magnets, many are fragile and can break easily. Also, weigh the small magnet, find out what size/weight of magnet you will need to add to it to replicate the original magnet.

Your welcome.
