Installation requires no modification apart from drilling the endpin jack hole and gluing the elements to the bridge plate. General Specs and Details: 4 balanced German-made ceramic piezo elements – 20mm diameter No batteries needed frequency response 22Hz-18kHz Review: Excellent tone, and powerful enough without a pre-amp. I installed it in a mandolin with a magnetic pickup already fitted, and it's as loud as that at full volume. Of course you may still need a way of adjusting volume and tone for live performance. Comes with everything you need to install it on a classical guitar (which it is designed for), with a QR code to link to PDF instructions online. I had a struggle to get it into my mandolin, but I managed it. The process would have been a little easier with the 3-element version (EP001K) of course, but the price is the same so why not have the 4th contact? Review: I have been isto guitars since mid 80's tried a lot of stuff.Last summer while on vacation bought used Alhambra 2C and love the sound so thought to upgrade it with a simple pickup. This one is just perfect for what it is. It's very neutral sounding but with of lot of details. Love the sound. Highly recomend. Much better than simple under saddle piezzos this one give you more volume and character. Already installed one so this one went easy. Placed the discs not totaly under the saddle position but slightly in the bridge . The sound is ouncy but also a mellow and well balanced.Great job Journey amplification! ## Features - AMPLIFY THE NATURAL SOUND OF YOUR CLASSICAL GUITAR - Our passive piezo pickup is an elegant solution for transparent tone to amplify the natural sound of your guitar.

(EP001K, EP002K, EP003K, EP004K)** A: All piezos are wired in parallel to the 2.5mm mono jack that plugs into the back of the endpin guitar cable connector. (and can also plug into the EPA01 volume control wheel) **Q: Is the HA01 Passport Headphone amp really a useful, or just another headphone amp for electric guitar?** A: This little headphone guitar amp is phenomenal! You can stream-in you favorite tunes with bluetooth to play along. You can create a custom sound and select from 10 custom amps and 10 IR cabinets; then adjust tone, gain and volume. **Q: Will the EP001K fit my guitar?** A: Fits most 12-string guitars as well. You can allow for about 2 mm overhang off of the bridge plate with negligible degradation in acoustic transfer. If you’re using a classical guitar with a center brace, we recommend 4 piezo elements. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***R on 23 February 2026* Excellent tone, and powerful enough without a pre-amp.
