I had one in my Santa Cruz 00 12-fret guitar. It was a little tricky getting it in there because of the spacing of the braces and the wires from the K&K so I had to re-position it a few times to get it just right. But it wasn't too bad.
It was definitely a neat effect and a cool toy. I did find that it inspired me to noodle around a little more at first but ultimately that wore off. I had a hard time taming the feedback issues. I would get them at two frequencies and it seemed that taming one would kill off the taming of the other.
The other issue I had is it ate batteries something fierce. In the end I found myself using it less and less and then when I sold the guitar that I had the X-brace in and needed to remove it, I ultimately decided to not put it into another guitar and eventually sold it off to the next guy.
