Martin Era M12 Installation Kit

Martin Era M12 Installation Kit

The Martin Era M12 Installation Kit lets you add reliable piezo amplification to a Martin 12-string without factory work or extensive modification. Built for gigging musicians and techs who need dependable under-saddle pickup integration, this kit handles the retrofit cleanly so your acoustic maintains its voice and look on stage or in the studio.

Installation & Compatibility

Engineered specifically for Martin Era 12-string models, this kit includes a pre-contoured saddle and all components sized for 12-string bridge slots. Standardized dimensions mean precise fit and alignment—no guesswork, no bridge damage, no top-wood issues during setup.

Pickup System & Output

The under-saddle piezo captures vibration directly from the bridge for even response across all 12 strings. A standard 1/4-inch jack routes discreetly through the lower bout, giving you clean amplification that works in live settings and recording environments alike.
