I'm sharing this with you guys because there are probably people here who want to put electrics in their guitars but want to do it in the most unobtrusive way possible.
I just installed 2 sets of PPS 200 from JJB Electrics. This is a 2 transducer setup terminating in either a 1/4" jack or a male plug. You can order what you want.
The transducers simply super glue onto the inside of your soundboard, just like K&K. On a nice acoustic I would replace the supplied jack with a combination strap pin / jack to go in the end pin hole in the guitar.
Mine are installed with both mixing/blending with the USTs in the guitars through the onboard preamp. The guitars are an Alvarez MD90C and a Wechter 5714 Elite Jumbo. In the Alvarez the PPS 200 plugs directly into the mic input. The impedance may not be an exact match but the sound it makes is beautiful.
In the Wechter the PPS 200 plugs into the input for the mag soundhole pickup. Works perfectly.
I also have an Epiphone PR350 with a K&K PWM installed. I've been playing it for a couple years. With just the JJB's Vs the K&K I have to say the sound is identical to me. The quality of the sound is excellent and very balanced. The K&K is slightly louder but it has three transducers, not two like the JJB I ordered. Still under $20 Vs under $90. I'm sorry but I don't even have to think about that decision.
I know that K&K is a favorite with many acoustic players, and IMO they deserve to be. But this upstart little company, JJB-Electronics is giving them a run for thieir money in quality, service, the whole nine yards.
At this point, I can fully recommend the JJB products and would encourage those looking to put high quality yet unobtrusive electrics in their guitar to consider JJB.
Again, this information is only for the purpose of sharing something you may need. I am not attached to JJB in any way. Hope this helps someone.
