# Which Guitars Are Compatible With the ToneWoodAmp?

## Confirming Compatibility

**- Compatible guitars:** Most steel and nylon string acoustic, electric/acoustic guitars, and basses with a flat or slightly arched back.

**- Thin body acoustic guitars: I**nstallation of the Magnetic X-Brace may be more challenging due to limited space in the body.

**- Full-body acoustic archtop jazz guitars and f-hole instruments:** ToneWoodAmp cannot be installed using the Magnetic X-Brace due to the absence of a large soundhole.

**- Semi-acoustic electric guitars:** Traditional acoustic soundholes are required for mounting the X-Brace, but a temporary solution like 3M Blue Painter's Tape can be used.

**- Ovation Guitars:** ToneWoodAmp is not considered compatible due to the bowl-shaped back, although some models with a removable back access plate may work.

**- Incompatible guitars:** Guitars with nonstandard or very small soundholes, no soundholes, thin bodies, or irregular back surfaces or shapes.

**- Pickup requirement:** A pickup is necessary for electric/acoustic guitars, and pickup bundles are available for steel-string and nylon string guitars.
