Thanks for the suggestion! It wouldn't work for me since it requires a battery. I get too anxious about batteries running out and things failing before a performance. I would go mad with concern about the 9V battery. Thanks anyhow, however.

Thanks, I checked out the videos and went to the website. Thanks for letting me know about a cool device! It wouldn't work for me since it requires a battery to change; also, the guitar I'm having built doesn't have a conventional sound hole, so the transmitter would not fit. It also relies too much on 2.4 GHz, which is very prone to dropouts in places with lots of self-phones such as during a live performance (it will work during rehearsal then as soon as the room is filled not perform at its best), but I would like to know more about the smart frequency hopping and how it performs live. I really like the design of the preamp, however, and that the transmitter only weighs 26 grams. It's pretty cool! I can't use it but will definitely keep this in mind. I just realized that this is the same system that Bradford Werner at ThisIsClassicalGuitar reviewed a year ago. I remember now! This is actually a really cool, well though-through system from a pretty innovative company.
