Review: Passive Piezo Acoustic Pickup – EP001K - Wow! I'm really impressed with these pickups. I put these in a J-45 Gibson that had been restored due to Gibson's failure at the time to properly reinforce the sound board. Man, these things are brilliant!!! Big, booming, clear sound from these pickups, and though it took a little time and patience to do it right, the installation was not really hard. Really converted that Gibson. Fantastic product.
Review: Best value on the market - This is probably the 10th Journey EP001K that I purchased for my collection of vintage archtop guitars. It is the best value on the market. Easy to install and full, natural sound.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use JourneyTek pickups on instruments other than guitars, basses or ukes?**
A: Our pickups are designed primarily for use with the instruments for which they’re advertised, and our installation procedures are based on these applications.

**Q: What are the Thread Specs for Your Pickups?**
A: Strap Button Threads: 3/8-32 standard (if you need to replace the strap button) Inner socket Threads: M12*0.75 metric (If you need to replace a nut for the pickup inner tube threads)

**Q: How are the piezos wired on your passive pickups? (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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Installation issues, but they work!
*by L***S on March 21, 2023*

Won't know what they sound like or if they even work, I have a couple broken bridge pins, new ones coming tomorrow. This review is all about the installation and issues I experienced. Not too hard but not as easy and smooth as the video makes it seem. Was super careful and dry fitted the piezos not once but twice. The first 2 glued in place fine. The 3rd one felt good with the guide sticks and glued up, only to find that it blocked one bridge pin hole so I had to push a drill bit thru the hole to break it off and reposition it. Keep in mind you're doing this totally by braille, even with the hole guide sticks that come in the kit, you have to go by feel and cross your fingers. The other problem is I had to unscrew the inside jack cover almost all the way back for the whole jack to stick out of the back of the guitar far enough per instructions. Only maybe 3 rings of thread left on the inside end of the jack for the cover to grip. The actual problem is that the piezo mini plug is too big to go into the end of the jack cover to connect to the plug. The cover is aluminum so I drilled the end opening larger for the mini plug to fit thru. One other thing to note, the plug is bent a little at an angle making it even more difficult to connect. I didn't want to try to straighten it out and possibly break it. They maybe should state these issues in their instructions, or make these to fit for different models like my Epiphone Hummingbird. Now I just hope they work or back to Amazon they go. 3/27/23 UPDATE, after all that, they work perfectly and sound great! The issues I encountered weren't all that hard to overcome if you're handy and somewhat mechanically inclined. The misplacement of one of the piezos was my fault, I got it right the 2nd time. I'm changing my review to 4 stars, you just need to look out for a few things that I encountered when you go to install them in your guitar. These pickups are a great deal!
