I've had 2 GK-kit-gt3 units on order from Andertons since January 1, 2020. Every 2 weeks they send an email with an update, that may be in a few more weeks.

I understand its not them, they refunded $10. after the 2nd delay, and are keeping me informed.

I will be using these kits for hybrid installs. Custom 13 pin output, various non Roland hex pickups, only the preamp is being used from the gk kits.

I'm using Shadow Pots with push/push momentary switching for s1/s2 switching, and no mix switch.

I have an OEM Fishman hex for use in 1 system, and an Antares wide hex pickup for another. Eventually, ill be installing a Gibson hex in a third build, that one will be a while.

I searched here but couldn't find a comparison of resistance in all the various hex pickups. My Fishman pickups are hot through the gk preamp, and although they are different sounding, they work. in my SY-1000 the sensitivity is at 0 for every string, and still hits the red. I actually have it 2mm from strings, (no more depth available). I would like to have a board with pad pots between the Fishman pickup and preamp to be able to obtain lower output. As I experiment, it would be nice to have output, resistance specs, etc on all pickups to determine the amount of output I need to trim.

I'm looking at this internal pickup kit...  https://www.andertons.co.uk/roland-gk3-internal-pickup-kit

These go for over $300 here in the states..... am I missing something?
Is this just the pickup portion, and I still have to use the big controller thing that you normally plug you mags out put into, or does this replace that whole thing?

Also, I have a PRS SE that already has a Ghost LB63 with piezos in it and an Acoustiphonic preamp.
It looks like the Hexpander option would be the best way to go since I'm almost there anyway, even though it looks like it would still be a little more expensive than this internal mount kit from Andertons.

I also have a couple of Gibson guitars that I would really rather not mount the GK-3 Divided Pickup on.  Could I use a Ghost Piezo Bridge with the Roland GK3 Internal Pickup Kit instead of using the GK-3 Divided Pickup?  Are they compatible?

Sorry again for all the questions, but you guys know your sh*t and I'm just getting started!
Much appreciate your patience and kindness!!

not missing anything. That's what they sell for at Andertons.

last one I bought from them was $113 with the shipping to the states. The final price at the time depends on the exchange rate.
