Can this pick up be used on guitars with lacquer finishes without damaging the finish?

Yes, it should be safe to be used on guitar with lacquer finishes, but it's best to directly deal the expert or luthier

Yes it can and should not damage the finish. I didn't have any problems with the finish on my guitar after removing the pick-up. If you're looking for a great sound hole pick up, get this one.

There is thin foam padding on the ends of the pickup that come into contact with the guitar's finished surface when fixing it to the soundhole.

The padding might react with the finish, no way to know without trying. Good pickup, not very hot. Good sound on stage.

I actually used it for acoustic guitars. It works very well. =))). Be blessed.

Assuming that the wipe-on poly finish is thoroughly dry you shouldn't have a problem using this buffing system on the piece. I've used it to buff over Watco and Minwax wipe-on oil finishes, and rattle can spray lacquers with no problems.

Thanfully yes since all my guitars are rosewoodfretboards. This fluid is not really aggressive. You need some good amount of elbow grease along with the cleaner to get that player buildup off. That's likely a good thing as it's milder nature keeps you from overstripping the fretboard's finish. Some have written that it darkens the finish but my experience is the opposite...likely due to the dark dirt and oil buildup that it removes.

no problem on classical guitars, just check the labels to use the appropriate cleaner based on your guitar finish

Im not sure if this will or not but a piezo mic will I believe.I think most pickups pick up the vibration of the string and not the metal if thats what you were thinking.But I am not 100% on that.

the points of contact are covered with a soft close cell material. No damage to my guitar but I do not have a nitrocellulose finish.

I don't see any reason this wouldn't work on either. It is a great little pick-up. The only problem I've had with it is it is too big to fit the sound hole on my classical guitar. It fits my dreadnought fine but not the classical. Buy the pick-up. If it doesn't work for you, you can always send it back.

I've only used it when changing strings to clean and condition the fretboard. I would assume not though.

I have only used these pickups on an acoustic guitar and ukulele. The tone is great! The pickup attaches to the instrument with a clay-like adhesive that comes with it. You may need to play around with location of the pickup in order to get the kind of sound you are looking for, kind of an individual preference.

I'm no expert, but I have merrily been using it on my shiny classical guitar. Everything seems very happy...Has removed some spots that were caused by an exploding fizzy drink without damaging the finish underneath! I am very pleased.

Not sure. I don't think it will "stick" to the lacquer ruining the finish. If you're really afraid of damaging the finish...or if the desk is valuable, I would go with having glass cut to fit the surface of the desk, rounding the corners and having it beveled to be absolutely certain of no damage to the desk.

I would be careful trying this as the pick guard seems to be on pretty tight. Be aware that the finish overall is kinda thin. Its not a heavy lacquered finish like on a lot of guitars. If you were going to refinish the whole thing anyway then I think you would be fine.

I use it for refinishing and restoring guitars. It is absolutely the best product I've found. I also use more than just the Ultimate. Try any of the products, they work.

Yes. But, whenever you use an under-saddle pick up, you will have to modify the bridge and adjust the action on your guitar. If you do not have the knowledge, tools or skills to do that, you will need to take it to a luthier to get it done properly. Also, you will have to cut a hole in the upper left hand bout of your guitar to fit the control. These are not necessarily easy tasks. Good luck.

Hey dude. Not really. The fretboard treatments are for rosewood only. Mind you, I find that the orange polish/cleaner is great for removing grime from maple without gunking it up.

whether or not it is okay on a satin finished guitar is not detailed or specified on the kits packaging or individual bottles themselves. I would contact the manufacturer in hopes they can provide you with accurate information. All my guitars have a shiny finish. Sorry. =/
