Electronics
When it comes to amplifying your custom acoustic guitar, K&K Sound provides the best passive pickups on the market today. We recommend the K&K Pure Mini pickup or the K&K Pure Mini pickup with volume control. Both options include 3 transducer pads that are installed on the bridge plate to provide a full dynamic range of sound. With minimal wiring and no additional holes required for onboard electronics, these pickups eliminate clutter and operate without the use of a battery.
All Four Guitars has found that these passive pickups offer the truest sound transference from your guitars hand-carved soundboard to any DI, amplifier or sound system. K&K pickups convey the sound unique to each individual instrument and its tonewoods, something special to share with any audience listening to your custom All Four.
Finishes
In addition to our models, woods, and custom features, the finish we use is a matte wipe on gel varnish. This provides an elegant and simple look that shows off the natural qualities of the wood. All Four Guitars can finish the guitar using the matte finish (gel varnish) or gloss (UV catalyzed polyester spray lacquer, provided by a trusted external finishing company).
