My Takamine/ Jas is acc/electric.I don't want the hassle of having to loosen its strings to change the battery. Is this p/u ez to mount?

simple - elegantly simple - just slip it past the strings and into the soundhole - let the wire slip between the guitar and the strap so it won't get in your way - the sound is clear and astonishing.

Literally takes less than 5 seconds to mount and dismount. This is an in-hole p/u (no battery). I like it. Interested to hear what a pro has to say.

As long as this fits the sound hole opening of your guitar, you don't even have to loosen the strings to install or remove it. No battery. But do be careful and make sure it fits the hole. I had to trim off a .06 shave off the back hook to get it into my Ibenez guitar. Works like a pro . . . now, if I could only play like a pro! :-)

The front of the mount attaches where the rear leaf sight attaches. The rear of the mount attaches at the the tang at the back of the receiver. You can use the existing tang screw, or you can buy an aftermarket "quick change" screw, but they are kind of bulky and ugly if you care about such things. To me they are worth it.

Honestly, I'm not an expert. I forced them on my Takamine but it looks great and works fine.

There is a piece on the back that slides out for mounting purposes. Take that piece off the battery compartment is there.

Yes, it bolts into the removable head shell on the end of the tone arm, unscrew the tone arm collar, remove the shell bolts and then remove the wires with tweezers. Before mounting the new cartridge into the head shell slide the blue brush bar and stylus, one piece, out of the cartridge, it's easier/safer to mount the new cart this way and you can slide it back in when mounting is complete. Place the tiny bolts in threw the top of the head shell and slide the cartridges bolt carriers onto them, now screw on the tiny nuts. This is a fiddly job requiring patience, if this proves too difficult you can always reverse bolts so that they stick up through the head shell, this makes screwing the nuts on easier but it doesn't look so good. Use the supplied Shure mounting graph to adjust, square up, the cart correctly in the head shell. Lightly finger tighten the bolts with the supplied screwdriver so they are snug but DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN, the nuts and bolts are made of light, soft aluminum and the threads are easily stripped. Next get some tweezers, fine needle nose pliers or small forceps and mount the wires from the shell onto the colour coded cartridge input posts. Once the head shell is mounted back on the tone arm place the whole record player onto a level table, important, revers or unscrew the adjustable counterweight at the back of the tone arm until the tone arm with cart/head shell attached floats freely level with the top of the round platter. Once level turn the gram number dial to zero without turning the weight, now turn both the number dial and counterweight together to one and a half to two grams, now your set. This is a cheap and cheerful way to mount a cartridge however there are many tools and gauges available for cartridge mounting that make the job easier and more accurate if you want to spend the money. Good Luck.

If the J25B is rack-mountable it is not obvious how it's done. The unit is quite heavy with the battery so the rack must be hefty. Recommend www.apcav.com for Audio Visual Technical Support or find local/country specific Customer Support on www.apc.com/support/contact

SKB's fitting chart claims it fits "most 12-string acoustic guitars". However, I didn't find any specific fitting chart for any Takamine guitars from them. I have a Gretsch G3700 Jumbo acoustic and it fits great in this case.

You will have to install your own battery ends, be it Deans, Traxxas, etc, its pretty easy to do.

its a "P"mount type cartrage that comes with an adapter for other type tone arms.so yes it does.

Assuming your guitar has a strap pin on the side. There are adapter kits which will take the 1/4" connector from the pickup, extend it, and replace the strap pin with a jack. All you would need to do is unscrew/replace the factory pin. No drilling. Obviously, if you intend to use the guitar standing up, that might pose a problem.

No you dont need it. The yellow top is a good deep cycle for high power stereos, the kinetic is prefered by most though. But it's best use is to use it as a second battery with a battery separator. This way the kinetic takes all the brunt of the current draw and your alternator and electrical system doesnt. When i did mine i spent about 350 in total with the battery, the separator, and some 0 guage wire. So it is expensive, but its the best way to beef up your electrical

The mount rubber broke on mine, so I taped it on with electrical tape, the wire broke off so I put a radio shack normaly open switch on... Now I've smashed the unit case and its taped together with more tape. I have to change the battery... Oops, probably time to buy a new one.

Yes it mounts on standard picatinny rails. Battery life is listed at 1000 hours. I'm still on the original battery, despite leaving it on for 2 days in storage by accident. I keep a spare battery in my pistol grip just in case.

The parts sourcing on Strat's (Asian model's in particular) is all over the map so it's hard to say for sure.If all you need is a saddle nut tension spring then I would first check StewMac, AllParts, and/or Amplified Parts first. Call them on the phone and explain what you're looking for. So many different people making parts that unless dimensions are specifically stated you never know if any given part will be a "drop-in" fit?

I have them on two electrics. One is an Ibanez and one is an ESP. Just make sure they will fit. The diameter of the post must be the same size or smaller than the holes that the original equipment is installed in. Also make sure the tabs that the small screws screw into on the back of the headstock are the same design as what you have or you will need to drill new ones and the old holes may show. Hope this helps.

yes, I have the same tama iron cobra from my acoustic set on there. It works great. No noticeable lapse in kicks. You will need to keep it on carpet or fabricate a way to weigh it down. You will get a lot of shift especially from heavier tracks.
