Installation would be another problem. K&K and others come with little tools to help you get them installed in just the right spot. Not so with a Yamaha system in a different guitar. Then there's the irreversible part, cutting a specific size hole in your guitar for the preamp.

Update:
- i found a Yamaha with the ART System in it for cheap (cracked top)
- the system sounds fantastic, although not so fan of the neck (big)
- i m about to dismantle it (basically un-glue the 2 transducers) and install the thing on my trusted guitar.
- i m wondering which glue to use, might probably go with Titebond, unless someone in the know tells me there s a better option
Thanks for insight!
