Musiclily Basic Soft Guitar Pickup Under Saddle Piezo for Acoustic or Classical Guitar

I bought this to repair my 12 string Ovation Celebrity CC45.It works perfect. Beautiful sound.

I had to find out for myself because no one knew for sure and everyone poopooed on my idea, BUT��I managed to use this and repaired my Martin�� something something model guitar.I know it has a built in Fishman preamp soldered to the board. I just cut the tip off this piezo and twisted/soldered the connection and VIOLA! It totally works and it is once again my gigging guitar,It was out for the count for two years and I couldn��t get anyone to fix it for some reason. I used my Taylor 814 during that time and while it sounds beautiful, anyone who gigs regularly knows how hard the life can be on an instrument. Anyway- this soft piezo works pretty darn well as a replacement.

I broke the pick up in my Ovation Elite CE48, and bought this as a replacement. It didn't fit on to the bridge prefect, but it was close enough. Plugged it in and it sounds as good as the original.

So my piezo transducer in my Alvarez died and I had a gig on July 4th so I overnighter this to replace it. When I took it out if the package I saw the wire that was soldered to the bar was not connected and the solder had failed. Normally at this point I would have packaged it up and sent it back but it was July 3rd and no one had one locally. I attempted to resolder it and basically destroyed it. I threw it in the trash. Out the money and still have a non functional guitar. I borrowed a guitar for the gig and will take my Alvarez to a tech to get the transducer replaced. One other thing when comparing the solder compared to the solder on my original piezo it was apparent that they used a tiny bit of solder on this one compared to the original. I don't think the original Alvarez would have came loose had I drive over it with a car. You get what you pay for lesson learned.

It works good,the action was so high on the guitar i had to take the saddle down a half mile which doesnt work with the open piezo pickup that is in an ovation guitar,this pichup is a good addition if you need to sand the saddle down to lower the action,just unplug the stock pickup and plug new one in,it too long but thats not an issue,push it up thru the bottom and let the excess hang down thru the hole reinstall the saddle,the only reason i diddnt give it 5 stars is the volumn needs to be up higher on the amp and guitar than before but it sounds good
