I have a Martin D-15. Do I need the narrow or wide pickup?

Howdy, I have had several Martins and have used the narrow format. But, just to be positive, I would measure the width of your saddle. It should be either 1/8" (wide) or 3/32" (narrow). Hope this helps. Your local guitar tech will know for sure.

I have a Martin D-35 and a 000M. The narrow element works for both. I'm not familiar with the D-15 model, but I'd guess it to require the narrow element also. Best way is to measure the D-15 saddle slot. It will either be 1/8" or .125" (wide) OR 3/32" or .0937" (narrow). Good luck!

take the narrow one, it will fit even if rest some space over there. by the end, it wont make any difference and u gonna have a nice sound

measure the width of the slot that your saddle fits in (or measure the saddle) buy the pick up that is close to your measurement. you may have to adjust the slot

It sounds good. It is best for acoustic if you run thru a preamp first,I have a dean markley pickup on an older Martin and it needed the signal boost.But it plays an electric very nicely. Not a lot of special effects though. So you'd have to add that pedals for that.

Nope, it's too narrow. You need a full size pickup box, this one is for smaller or mid size truck. DeeZee and Delta and others have sizes to fit your truck, check the comparisons for your F150. Any box sized for a full size pickup will work for you.

it has a wider stance than the average hole by about a half inch on either side and is held in place with some foam rubber substance - so more than likely yeah - but if I had a Martin I would upgrade to a unit that had a volume control on the wire - just saying. This pick=up is elegant for we who play professionally but is out of your control at the source besides your amp...and thru an electric amp it's tinny sounding - but thru an acoustic amp or pa it's just as rich as can be.

this pickup becomes the saddle, the white saddle on your guitar will no longer be necessary. I don't know if it will fit in your current saddle slot. the pickup measures 3mm wide x 72mm. it's about 3mm high

Not sure about the size of your guitar, but I bought it for a Martin D-1 dreadnought, and it was too small.

What guitar? I have a bunch of guitars and fits on all of them but one that has an 80's Yamaha tremolo. The only way to make it fit will be trimming one side of the bridge pickup mounting ring. I'm sure you'll be fine, though.

Depends on the size of your box... All boxes have different dimensions... Look at the item descriptions and specifications and check the mounting depth is smaller then the height of the box... But i would recommend u get a shallow mount sub... I have a 1000 watt boss shallow mount sub in my pickup and it sounds great!

There are some companies that make pickups specifically for resophonic guitars. These would better suit your instrument and be easier to install correctly. these pickups are meant for flattop guitars with a saddle slot.

I just measured and totally agree with J.T. EAST AZ. To surface mount this pickup you'll need to cut out space for the rails, magnet and solder blobs on bottom. Roughly 2 7/8" x 7/8"

I got this amp a few months ago. I am using a classical nylon with built in pickup. I do get some feedback when it at about 1/4 volume if I get close to the amp so I ended up purchasing a soundhole cover to keep the amp noise from being picked up by the guitar pickup and it solved the problem. As you are using an external pickup that is not really an option for you. I'd try to just not face my pickup towards the amp

I'm an instrument repairman and have installed many K&K; pickups, primarily for their natural sound in acoustic instruments and the fact they don't need a battery! Absolutely recommended for acoustic 6-strings, including the Martin backpacker. In the majority of the installations, the pickup is perfectly usable as-is, although some players (afterwards) may opt to use a small outboard preamp for increased control of the volume & tone, but it's certainly not necessary. Consider professional installation unless you're comfortable working inside your guitar under the bridge. Overall, I can't say enough good things about the K&K; Twin!

It absolutely would work, but you might want to use one of their regular guitar pickups for that. The clip on this is extremely slender-to fit through the f-hole-, and so doesn't keep the pickup in place as well as the fatter clip on their standard guitar pickup. The frequency response on the regular guitar pickup is quite good, so if I were looking for an oval mandolin pickup, I would go for the one with the fatter clip.

I would say yes, but you might have to watch your volume due to feedback.It does increase the sensitivity of the pickup, and you should have better harmonics.I love mine, but I have a LP through a half stack.
