Is this a good option for a big guitar such as a Martin HD28V? I am under the impression that this is for smaller guitars.

I'll join the chorus: have in my HD28V and it's awesome: clean, pure---makes it sound like.....the guitar, amplified!

No, it will work fine in your HD28V - I put one in an HD28 and it sounded great. The mini captures the true essence of your guitar and every one I've installed (mostly in my own guitars), has sounded full and balanced.

I use it in my Martin custom d and it sounds awesome. Every pick up I have heard from K&K is great

I installed the K&K; mini in my Martin DSR (D for dreadnought). The tone is very faithful to the unplugged tone of the guitar. However, as I wrote in an earlier review, a preamp for EQ & especially volume boost is beneficial but otherwise this pickup is excellent.

Yes. I put the K&K; Pure Mini in an HD-28 and thought it performed beautifully! It is beneficial to go into a pre-amp/DI that allows for EQ and tone shaping, but even without a pre-amp the K&K; sound great with a Dreadnought.

I'm not sure ..i put one on a 00 size guitar ( mahogany/spruce) ..it's a good natural sound using a small Yamaha PAamp and a bit bassy using my Hendrikson jazz amp. On a D28 it probably will be bassier than an undersaddle or amagnetic Fishman rare earth pickup. If you have good EQ facilities you'll get a good loud natural sound assumingit's installed correctly.

It's too small for a baritone. You might see if they make a wooden holder for a guitar since the baritone would fit better. :-)

Kevin - I've got a hollow body that's about 3+ inches deep and the bag is snug on that guitar. On a solid body guitar I don't think it would be snug at all, in fact I suspect it would be fairly loose in all areas. If you want a tighter fit you should look for a bag designed for a solid body guitar. This bag is specifically designed for semi-hollows which have much larger bodies in all dimensions than a strat style guitar. I will say for the money, this is an excellent bag. I would recommend it for people that have the larger body style electric guitars.

I use it for a full-size semi-acoustic electric bass guitar. I do not believe it would work for a full size acoustic.

Hello!I have an La Patrie Guitar Etude QI and It's perfect for this guitar. The guitar is not small. I hope that this help you.

YES..........you will only have a little extra room at the headstock, body area is pretty close. It works just fine for mine (Seagull 12 string).

I found it great for my 6 string acoustic and my 6 string electric with and without the amp. I am sure it will work with a 12 string as an "E" or "B" note should be the same no matter the number of strings.

Should be ok. I don't have an ovation to try it on but this stand is specifically made to handle acoustic (wide) as well as electric (narrow) guitars. I do have a Gretchen hollvody electric which is in between body width and it works fine for that as well. I should think as long as the width of the lower bout spans the arms of the stand you should be good.

I have an old D28 Martin with an LR Baggs Lyric pickup. I'm using a Jaycko strap with a LOXX strap lock on the front (neck) strap pin but had widened the strap hole on the other end to fit in the Lyric's endpin jack slot. I was hoping to use one of these there, but it turned out to be much thicker than expected. I simply could not fit both the (rather thick) Jaycko strap and the Dunlop ErgoLok into the endpin jack's slot. I ended up giving them to a friend. Sorry, no idea on Taylors.

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.

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.

My guess is probably not. I purchased this gig bag for a Martin D-1 (basic dreadnaught size/shape), and it was too shallow (i.e. wouldn't fit the body of the guitar).

Cathleen, sorry no. The holding legs on this is not quite long enough for an acoustic. At least in my experience using a typical Dread sized acoustic. They do however make acoustic sized stands that would fit your need better.

Hmmmm... I'm not sure. I don't know. It works well for Dreadnought Size Guitars. In my case I have an Old Harmony Acoustic w/built in Pick Up. When I plugged it into any Amp & I tried pumping The Volume I would get big Time Screech/Feedback. Ever Since I Placed The Planet Waves Screeching halt Acoustic Cover, I get no more Feedback when I plug to an Amp. I can pump up the volume and no more worries! I hope this answer helps you.

I'm pretty sure it's too big for a classical guitar. I can check tonight, but it's the right size for a Dreadnought body. BTW, I haven't been overwhelmed with the case holding up; it had a hinge problem early on, when it was on the floor in a club and got kicked. I managed to fix that. The nylon seems to show more wear than I would expect, and I only take it out once or twice a week. I like it, but a hard case would hold up better. (This case replaced my case from 1968 :))

Hey Robyn! Is that just a standard size acoustic guitar? I bought this case to hold an old acoustic guitar I own, and it fits perfectly (I also love the case; it's exactly what I needed, and I've had no problems or anything with it)!

It is not a good fit. The head stock will need better support. Mine is stored in this case and it is better that the gig bag it came with. I should have bought a better case but I will make do.
