ponty Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUXXlYfUVTk&feature=g-upl You may remember sometime back, I installed a K&K mini in my J-45. I have to say it works superbly.I am very pleased with it. Shortly after I had installed it, I came across JJB Electronics, who make a very similar product, at exactly half price. Its called the Prestige 330. I have a 2nd J-45, and decided to buy a JJB - $49.00 plus $2 shipping to Bermuda. It arrived in a Jiffy bag, and wrapped in bubble wrap. Nothing else with it. The K&K came in a box (adding to shipping costs) and came with fixing strips, a very small tube of Superglue, and printed instruction. at $99 plus $10 shipping. On opening the JJB, there was no notable difference in quality of materials, or build quality. I installed it on my 93 J-45.To be honest, I wasn't happy. The 6th string was so much louder than the other 5. When playing in Drop D all I could hear was boom boom boom! So, here came the test of JJB customer service. I contacted Jessie Vallad, owner and CEO of JJB, and he quickly demonstrated 100% commitment to his product and customer service. Basically, second to none.He answered emails, at times well out of business hours. I removed the the pick up (not easy!) and sent it back to Jessie. He sent out a replacement immediately which I received today. I installed it in exactly the same way as the other two - see the Jig video. The sound is AWESOME! A fantastic product at a great price, With top support. Check out http://jjb-electronics.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD2dbtg90XE&feature=context-gau Product installed.

duluthdan Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Tremendous ! $49 and it sounds as good as your K&K Mini ? Nice of you to share the great customer service side of the story too - hope the company is charging enough to be able to stay in business!

jchabalk Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 how do you go about uninstalling one of those? I've wondered about that. It's superglued to the bridge-plate right? 2-3 different contact points (looks like 3 from your pic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the tool from a strip of brass and I chiseled the tip to get it under the pick up. It was a little awkward. Super glue was used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
