Any clues?

Thanks

I buy directly from K&K and I think they made me a dealer. I don't sell them
to others though.   To become a dealer as a luthier, you need to prove to
them you build and sell guitars. They wanted to see picts of my shop etc.
I dealt with Christy. Here email address is
christy@kksound.com

Me too, I do a lot of installs but don't sell the pickup
without the install. Great folks.

Evan, may I ask what would be a normal charge for a install? I would like to get an idea what to charge my customer.

I am also through my music store. www.newbergmusiccenter.com
The web site is in the process of renovation so the K&K's may not be up right now.

Yup Peter, I sell them too. Just got some in for a couple of OLF'ers. They install pretty easily. THey have great technical data on their website.

just e-mail them and tell em you build guitars and they will, most likely, sell
to you at dealer cost. That's what I did, and they are really great to work
with.

Put me on that list too, Peter. I've been a dealer for about 3 years now. Echoing what John said ... they are great to work with! Really nice products.

Best,

Jim

I also am a K & K dealer. And I also echo what everyone else has said. Great products, good people to work with.

Nah, just kidding, i didn't want to be left out on a good thing, that's all!

I am too, but it sounds like you have found enough dealers to keep you in product.

Hi Peter,
it is a pretty easy install so I usually charge $40 for a steel string and $60 for classical. The classical one is a bit trickier. My arm is not as skinny as it used to be
Best, Evan

Post subject: 

evan, in due course, if you are like me, the arms will get skinnier but other dimensions will increase

but i know what you mean about small soundholes. and increasing stiffness in fingers and wrists doesn't help either.

Thanks for all the help!!

Evan, you charge $40?? man you're cheap!! I was going to charge $45!

Post subject: 

Evan, what do you charge for installing the Trinity system with the bridge plate transducers plus the condenser mike (assuming the external preamp is used)? TIA

Author:  Evan Gluck [ Fri Nov 03, 2006 6:34 am ]
Post subject: 

Hi Howard,
I have never installed the Trinity yet, it seems like just an additional mic placement. Maybe another $20 to bring it up to $60. I tend to work in $20 increments.
I would never do a side mounted preamp on any guitar. I have a list of ethical things I wont do to a guitar. Everything should be external. I am sure you agree.
Best, Evan

Obviously, I need to raise my install prices .. I do them for less in Cdn dollars.

Hmm ..Done.
