Review: So good I’m buying a second set - So good I’m buying a second set for my other guitar. Great value and sounds great. Easy to install (for what it is, I’m not great at DIY but managed this).
Review: they work - these work. the only difficulty is fitting them. they really need to be glued under the bridge of your instrument, and that is non reversible. The sound quality is excellent. I have put them in two guitars now.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So good I’m buying a second set
*by J***B on 1 November 2025*

So good I’m buying a second set for my other guitar. Great value and sounds great. Easy to install (for what it is, I’m not great at DIY but managed this).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ they work
*by M***. on 2 December 2025*

these work. the only difficulty is fitting them. they really need to be glued under the bridge of your instrument, and that is non reversible. The sound quality is excellent. I have put them in two guitars now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for the price and sounds good
*by B***G on 31 October 2022*

I fitted this into a Guild acoustic, and I'm very impressed. Not as loud as the similar pickup by K&K but sounds good, especially if used with a pre-amp. A little fiddly to install so I recommend a dry run before using the superglue on the piezo pickups, but once you get used to how it's done it's fine. Also, be careful when drilling out the endpin hole to accommodate the combined jack connector and new endpin/strap button. I found the best way to install the new connector/endpin is to feed a jack lead through the newly drilled hole in the guitar (it should just fit) connect it to the pickup connector then gently pull through the endpin hole. Overall a great buy.
