The KG-5 is built around its electronics from the start: the saddle slot, bracing pattern, and battery compartment are designed for the system, and the active preamp is shielded inside the body. You get clean amplified signal AND the same acoustic projection as our non-electric models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBest for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"sala-list good\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerforming musicians who play microtonal classical in clubs, theaters, or churches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio musicians recording direct-in for cleaner separation than mic'd takes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeachers running group classes who need to be heard over student ensembles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-genre players blending classical guitar with electric ensembles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who plans to perform live within the next 12 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot best for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"sala-list bad\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure acoustic recording with high-end mics (the EQ pickup adds weight and slightly affects unplugged resonance)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayers in a single tuning who never perform live (the KG saves $700 with the same body)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-system needs (CK-5's adjustable frets are the right call, even without pickup)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"sala-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTop\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid spruce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBack \u0026amp; sides\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNeck\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-laminate exotic wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePickup\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnder-saddle piezo with active preamp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEQ\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-band (bass \/ mid \/ treble \/ presence) + master volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBattery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9V (included, with low-battery indicator)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFretting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed microtonal (24-tone equal temperament)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eScale length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e650 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncludes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardshell case, 1\/4-inch instrument cable, 9V battery, nylon strings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIstanbul, Türkiye\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKG-5 vs other microtonal classical models\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"sala-compare\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrice\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBuild\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePickup\/EQ\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/tr\/products\/microtonal-classical-guitar-kg-2\"\u003eKG-2\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$599\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLaminated top\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e—\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLearning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/tr\/products\/microtonal-classical-guitar-kg\"\u003eKG\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$799\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid top\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e—\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcoustic performance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"highlight\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKG-5\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e$1,499\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid top + pickup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e✓ 4-band EQ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLive + recording\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/tr\/products\/adjustable-microtonal-classical-guitar-with-ck-5\"\u003eCK-5\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e$2,999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid top + adjustable frets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e—\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-system performance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sala-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the pickup require a separate preamp pedal?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo — the active preamp is built into the body, powered by the included 9V battery.
