Very awesome humbucker for my parlor guitar.
I now have an electric parlor guitar thanks to this humbucker. I knew my guitar's soundhole would be too small so I was prepared to cut away some wood. Because I'm left handed I wanted to position the humbucker upside down so I shaped the bridge side of the soundhole to fit the humbucker. My woodwork skills were good enough and it turned out great! I only paid 40 euros a couple of years ago at an auction for the vintage parlor guitar made by Suzuki Violin Company made in the 70's. The string action is quite low on my parlor guitar so I had to remove the rubber pads under the side plates of the pickup to make the pickup action go low enough to prevent string contact when playing the upper frets. This aspect turned out perfect also. My string action is unchanged and the distance of the pickup magnets is perfect after I adjusted them all to the same height as the lowest one with a screwdriver. Plenty of clearance now. My parlor guitar sound absolutely beautiful with amplifier and effects. Fitting this humbucker to my old guitar was scary to do since I had to cut the soundhole and make it shaped to fit the pickup. I did have to measure very carefully and mark the areas with a pencil to be cut and filed away. But I'm very satisfied with the result. Please don't do what I did unless you are absolutely certain that you won't ruin your precious guitar. For normal sized soundholes, I believe this fits straight in without any need for modifications. The cable can be neatly duct taped onto the side of the guitar the input jack can be attached to the strap button.

Hyvä mikki, eikä kallis hinta. Plukin pistokkeessa hyvä kiinnityskohta, ruuvasin sen kaulan juuren alle.

Cool little pick up
Installed this on my Harley Benton Delta Blues T (needed to cut sound hole a bit to fit next to fingerboard), raised action and this is ready to slide! Good value for money and great fun.
