Hello! How is this mini guitar tuned?
Hello! How is this mini guitar tuned?
I installed in my Stewmac Kit OM guitar, nice sound , but have feedback on 50% gain and so much bass, any remedy or advise?
I just chose this video at random and wow. It is great! So I had a really hard time concentrating in your lessons as I had a a ton of brain fog. But your bass and guitar books and the lessons really helped. I made a weird journey from percussion to drums to autoharp. Matt Wirfs now the Elvish Wunderground Band needed support for his world class solos. And we both sing leads. Anyhow. He used loopers and also just supported himself on rythym and bass on guitar. He is a world class bass player. And I picked up the bass uke to support his violin and mandolin. But somehow that was easier to fret than the regular guitar. And the weird beast that is the autoharp gave me confidence to play rythym and use banjo picks. So then i started the 12 string mandotar from Goldtone that I play open. And his grandpa's nylon string. And a 6 string banjotar. Live on our shows. And sudden the Martin Dreadnought with bluegrass strings was playable. So it now has lighter strings and I can viable support Matt on his two 6 and 8 string Guild Baritone guitars with their weird tuning. So he is playing bass and melody and I am adding rythym guitar on many songs. We have tap shoes and boards for foot percussion but I still pull out my Bendir drum for the more complex guitar numbers. Like the Who and the Holloes the Beatles etc. And I hope come winter he will retrofit his Telecaster to the baritone range and I can get my drum kit out and I can also do rythym on some numbers and still play the drums with my feet. It is so exciting and unexpected tua6 after about 5 years of trying on guitar and bass and getting nowhere, because of my brain fog, suddenly I am in a band and we rock if I do say so myself.
Excellent
Thank you Pete ...I personally love experimenting with sound and have built some of my own small body but standard neck guitars ...buying cheap $20 Au Chinese Strat copies guitars that could not play at all and giving them more serious and adjustable necks ...bridge position always needed to be worked out that way that bridge is nearly touching the tail of the guitar ( so it's all the way away from headstock) ...Those little Strat bodies are gorgeous and have great time busking wth it ...The natural tuning is a half step lower on the one I'm using for busking blues around railway station here in Sydney ...gauge is bit heavier as well ..The one I use regularly I call " Little Red Gator" and has got mini Strat body and attached acoustic ovation neck that I have salvaged from the street after very nusty domesticj fight that the whole block has been witness of ...Going through the similar myself ( my one smashed more than The who and Hendrix combined ) little voice told me that it's gonna be good karma wise to save what's left of that ovation and have been making some serious cash playing it since...That little guitar became the legendary piece and I'm using it wth that " Vox" creamy little thing amo wth all those effects ...By the way I have bought bunch of guitars on auction here in Sydney for $130 ...some Jap folkies from 1960/70 s that just needed some love and care ...I bought one of those little gems that you presented in video thinking that is the some kind of mandolin sounding guitar ( the standard tuning pitch is definitely somewhere there ) ...that thing was stuffed electronic wise and costed me probably less than $10 ...fixed electronics for $70 and got myself a friend for the life ...Loved your video and the way you do share it ...Hope one day to have you in Australia and play some gigs together !!!!👍
What string gauge are u using? im having trobule getting the intonation correct in standard tuning.
One of the better K&K pure mini install videos here on YT, IMO. Thank you! Had a little trouble hearing you at points but I just rewound those parts! Cheers!
Shows how much of a racket the big brand guitar game can be
Best video ever produced on installing pick-ups. Thank you and will be following your other video's.
Great video! Sounds awesome 😎 🎸
Excellent explanation on how to install. Thank you!
New subscriber. Absolutely brilliant video! Was my first time installing a pickup like this. Thanks to your help, I just finished my setup with no complications. Greatly appreciate the time you put into making this video!
Very clear instructions. I'd be surprised though if all that putty residue didn't compromise the sensors' performance.
Hello. Thanks for the comment. A great question. Ive been happy with the performance of this pickup over the years, but would it be even better if I had a cleaner installation 🤔😁. I have a new TH-cam channel I just started th-cam.com/channels/jP3iqGCwbSvcukzNTt1l1Q.html Would be lovely to have you as a subscriber to that channel.
Great job! Your explanations were very clear and the images were perfectly done. Thanks! :) I wasn't sure i was going to be able to do the installation myself but now I may just get the K&K :)

On my first of 3 sensors I got close to the edge of the saddle on the underside of the guitar. Will that matter in terms of sound quality? Im assuming as long as it’s secured and completely on the flat surface of the saddle inside the guitar it will work fine? I sure don’t want to have to re-position it because that would be a challenge. Please let me know.
Hi. I would test them on the top outside the guitar first, to find the best places, before gluing them internally. Hope that helps sorry it's so late...I have a new TH-cam channel I just started th-cam.com/channels/jP3iqGCwbSvcukzNTt1l1Q.html Would be lovely to have you as a subscriber to that channel.

@@petecooke1707 I just left the position alone and I've played the guitar many times since and it sounds great. I was just a bit worried after I installed but it really sounds nice! Thanks for the reply.
@@kberwager glad to hear it's been ok 👍 I really hope you like my new channel and I'm very active on that channel so keep in touch 👍
@@petecooke1707 Thanks, I've subscribed over there and will browse the videos. Thanks for creating them! I play nearly every Sunday at my Church so I'm actively playing guitar all the time. I love it very much so any tips, tricks or methods you have for continuing the learning experience would be great. I need to break-through playing in the Key of G so much. I do use a Capo but it would be nice to know some exercise routines or methods to break through to playing more Flats and barre chords so that the sounds are more dynamic. Anyway just thinking off the top of my head, since that's where I'm at in my guitar journey. Cheers!

I installed the end pin first this time but usually I install the other sensors first like K & K recommends. But I slipped up on the middle sensor and didn't place it on the jig position right. It closer to the Low E side so how do I get it loose and move it without damaging it. It gives me some feedback or I wouldn't try or have to. Do you have a best way?
Whr can i get this guitar??
Can you use the string pegs to line up the template if you don't have the original kit?
Thanks...invaluable tutorial...one of my pickups fell out so now I know how to reinstall it.
warmoth calls their 24.5 scaled guitar using 25.5 inch scale neck blank as 7/8th scale, so that's even more confusing since 7/8th of 25.5 is 22.3
Excellent communicator. And nice player ! Much valuable information here.
Thank you kindly. I appreciate it 👍 check out the band I play ukulele with, Three in the Dark, we just released our first album (One More Yesterday - on Spotify and TH-cam)
@@petecooke1707 I personally had a look at that particular band. Freggin' blew me away
Great video, cool name too :-), ive got a Takamine Ea10 and want to install the K&K but the Tak has a steel housing and no pegs, have you got any ideas on how to tackle that, i really would love the K&k mixed with the ust......thanks in advance. Peter Cook
Congratulations on the name 👍I'm not sure what you mean by steel housing... But if there aren't any string pegs that go through the bridge it's still totally possible to install the pickup. Because you can install the pickup into a classical guitar which doesn't have bridge pins. Hope that helps. Let me know if not and I'll try and suggest something else. If you get chance have a listen to my band Three in the Dark. I play uke on our album One More Yesterday and the uke has a k&k Ahola fitted to it. All the best.
Really good video thank you
Really glad you like it. If you get chance check out Three in the Dark on TH-cam. Our album One More Yesterday just came out on Spotify and is on TH-cam in a playlist on our channel. I play ukulele with Three in the Dark...sort like the small guitar in the vid: :) I still have the crafter in this vid in my studio in Finland. Have a great day and let me know what your favourite track off One More Yesterday is.
these things have incredible intonation actually. And sound amazing for blues because of the lower string tension
Hope the video was useful for you. Check out my new band Three in the Dark. We just released our first album One More Yesterday. Talking about short scale length I play ukulele on the album. Always keen to hear which track is people's favourite.
Good video but Jesus your voice is bloody boring . I fell asleep 6 times and slavered all down my own chin .
I'm deeply sorry that my free content that you chose to watch causes you any negativity in your life. Maybe try another video of the same process and see if you find it better suited to your needs.
Why no tremolo??
I guess just to keep the cost down. And tuning is already really tricky so a tremolo would make it worse. Hope that helps.
@@petecooke1707 ohhh there r some players like me that a tremolo is a must. That's a brake dealer !
@@roygertel maybe check out the SX RST 3/4 it will be a little bigger than the crafter. But it has a tremolo.
How about the extra amount of wire on the inside do you fasten is some how to keep if from vibrating against the body??
Yeah definitely tape the wire down to avoid unwanted noise. 👍 Hope the video helped. Check out my Sound Tuition book series on amazon and Lulu. The series is available for guitar, bass, ukulele and piano. Just search for Sound Tuition Ultimate Guitar Textbook and the others should be easy enough to find. Best, Pete
The manual suggests tightening the end pin so as to put a twist in the cable, so that it forms a loop - this will keep it away from the back and soundboard.
A digital guitar tuner is a must , pitch pipes a big no no for me...Argos uk do some great package deals , amp , everything...and don't cost a small fortune !
Three times tried watching this, every time fell asleep about halfway thru - your voice is SO boring....
Sorry to hear my free content, which is only there to help people, bored you. Have a look for another video of the same thing. Hopefully you'll make it to the end. 👍
Came here for the installation instructions (great tutorial) but left with a great ASMR experience!
I just love these "mini" guitar bodies...and put a Squier bullet neck on , a few tweaks and drilling , i ended up with a 25.5 scale guitar :) i've been playing for 25 plus years...and just LOVE these to modify , great vid :)
Really glad you liked the vid. Check out my current band Three in the Dark if you get five mins. I'm grateful for every listen 🙏
oh wow, I just bought a mini cruiser by crafter, and I decided put a telecaster neck on it, so do you have some videos where you shoow how to do it?
Is mini
Amazing tutorial, thank you! Love the pacing, video work, all of it.
Alex Ryan you're most welcome. Always nice to hear someone found it useful. I just published my first ukulele book on Amazon. Check it out Sound Tuition's Ukulele Grade One book 😁
others have put the pickup between the strings it appears you put the pickup on the ends directly in line with the E strings
B Cole you can use blu tack to test the position of the pickups on top of the guitar and to see the different sounds, different positions create. I've always been happy with the result I obtained with this pickup. I used this guitar at a friend's wedding this weekend. Still sounds great. The output jack has come loose, so I need to tighten it, but otherwise the pickup is still performing excellently.
