Nice product

I bought this kit to give a preamp to my fishman undersaddle piezo guitar.

The main reason to get it is
1) you have one output and want to use it in stereo. If you don't care, still great way to do it 2) you have a piezo bridge, be it fishman or baggs 3) you want your magnetic pickups to stay untouched by onboard eletronics
Pros 1)beautiful amplified acoustic tones 2)separate on board volume
3)on board phase switch keeps conventional magnetic pups untouched by preamp system. Can be used when you only have one output jack (as opposed to a double one in some guitars)
4)comes with everything you need, including a stereo jack.

Cons
You have to drill to make a hole. It can be scary but everything went great on my guitar.

does the job

This is a preamp/mixer board with gain adjust that will work with any piezo signals summed together (all signals joined and all grounds joined). I will say there are no helpful wiring diagrams out there unless you're installing it on a Strat. I installed it on an Epiphone Les Paul and scratched my head several times coming up with a good wiring plan I thought was well worth the effort!

Be warned, if you're installing on any solid body there will more than likely be a need for some wood working to get the pot to reach past the top's face. The push button was also in need of modifying so it would reach. Again, I thought it complimented the T-Bridge wonderfully!
