Review: It's f^(ging great!! But i DID get mine for $5.95 - I bought this for an ovation electric/acoustic, to use effects and hear it only through the amp, plug the acoustic and turn it into an electric...ish, have fun. It has a nice tight fit. pops out easily enough, sturdy, heavy rubber. D'Addario have never let me down. I'm not a fanboy, but this was under $6 and I also have a Martin and I'm interested to see if I can put it into "practice mode" past midnight. I literally just used it for the first time for 5 minutes, on a blues DeVille of all things (it was "right there"). I know it's to cut feedback, but for my intentions, it works well. and yeah, no feedback, but ovations use a piezo, so no magnetic field. I'm thinking of leaving it in the ovation and getting another for the martin. for less than $6, this is competing with all the other knock offs, and has a name I've come to personally trust, and yeah: lots of guitar accessories are tony plastic pieces of whatever, but there's a way to do it right, and I've never bought a new tool after buying one built by D'Addario. Then again, i've never tried another version, and I cannot stress this enough: I bought mine for less than $6. Ok, I've convinced myself to buy another for the Martin. My dudes, they had D' clip tuners for like $6 once and I bought one for each case. The batteries are probably dead now because i use a poly3. but it's under $6!!!
Review: Works great as long as it fits - I’ve been a professional musician for 30+ yrs, and I’ve used this brand many times over the years. It works perfectly and does what it’s suppposed to do. Just make sure it fits! This will depend on your guitar. The actual dimension of this plug is 4.040”, so, roughly 4 and 1/32”. My Martin’s sound-hole is 3.990”, and this particular plug will not fit, it’s too tight. I could probably force it in, but I’m not doing that. No worries, I have other guitars that it’ll fit. But for this particular Martin, I found (on desertcart) a sound hole cover that is 10cm which equals 3.937”, and it’s a perfect fit. No forcing. So my advice is to try this 4” plug first, it’ll probably fit. But if it seems too tight, don’t force it. Search on desertcart for the 10cm plug and you’ll be happy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this make the guitar a lot quieter for practicing? Or is it just for preventing feedback when amplified?**
A: I've used this product on many different guitars over the last 25 or so years...yes, it slightly quiets the guitar, but only by maybe 20-25% at most. Just keep in mind, that isn't what this product is initially designed for, but does help some

**Q: is this supposed to mute the sound?**
A: It cuts down on the feedback when you are playing through an amp.   I would not use it otherwise.    To answer your question it does not mute the sound a whole lot.

**Q: Does it fit a Baby Taylor bt2?**
A: It fits my Taylor 110 firm. If the sound hole is the same circumference of the 110ce then yes. If not no.

**Q: Will this fit an Fg 160e? Its got a pickup where the fretboard meets the sound hole.**
A: It might fit a bit off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Size does matter
*by K***A on May 16, 2024*

How do they do that??? I order this 16 hours ago and he it is. Update. It is a good product for the right guitar, Just not my Tacoma. I have others it will work out somewhere 😎 This will work fine. I question the pretty wooden covers.... To much resonance.
