Has anyone used a Tonewood amp? What did you think of it? Has anyone put one on a Weissenborn?

Yep. Tried it on my 1920's style 2. Worked well but not enough to keep it on there - I use it more swapping it between on a '30's Dobro double cyclops and a newer Washburn B-bender dreadnaught.

The only concern I would have is that it appears to mount to the flat back. Since I play on my lap, I’d worry about messing it up with my leg. YMMV

On armpit guitars that is a concern too as it rubs against your body, the manufacturers made it so that once you set it you can easily lock it.
