This add-on piezo pickup is totally passive, non intrusive and completely reversible. While installation by a qualified tech is recommended, it is a simple matter to not only install the pickup, but to remove it with no evidence of it ever being in the guitar. Designed to bring out the acoustic qualities and presence that is so often missed in a pure magnetic pickup scheme, the MagPi will broaden the tonal palette of any archtop, from the most expensive hand carved instrument to the the lowliest import.

Unlike any other similar product on the market, the cable and plug were designed as together as a tightly matched pair using a special grounding sleeve instead of set screw for the ground connection to significantly increase reliability and provide for the best possible connection using solder-free plug technology. The housing of the Lava Plug™ was also designed to be as small as possible to enable pedal spacing as close as 7/8" dependent on how pedals are set next to each other. With only four easy steps for assembly, the Lava Solder-Free Pedal Board Kit is the ideal choice for any musician wanting reliability and uncompromising tone with virtually no signal loss.
