Fender Acoustic Pickup Cypress

I wanted to fit this to my rather ancient steel strung 'O' size guitar and this pickup (according to Fender) is one of the few all in one types that will go into its diminutive sound-hole which it does - unfortunately not with the clamping screws in place! Anyway its a very old cheap guitar so a couple of slots filed and in in went. Sound is great but for the 1st string which was way quieter than all the others - I use 9 to 42's. Tried it on a friends more modern acoustic with a (much) lower action and heaver strings and it was far better balanced. Certainly looks good in place, the captive lead is a bit annoying when playing and quite long to bundle up when not in use as the pick-up is not a quick fit/removal. If I was going to use this long-term I'd probably cut the lead and solder it to a body mounted socket. So not suitable for my old acoustic - then again it cost more than the acoustic is probably worth, so I'll put it to one side as I'm on the look out for a replacement acoustic anyway.

Since i bought a purely acoustic guitar last winter i needed some way to still get use out of my acoustic amp i had sitting around, its easy to attach by loosen/tighten the screws, even adjustable whether you want to amphesize the high or low string parts, the cable has a nice length and texture and sounds amazing! I've been using it almost exclusivly since theres no reason or need to detach it, very clean sound as expected by our all beloved Fender and just a great time! Definitely recommend it:)

Ich habe den Pickup in meinen Gitarren getestet und zu meiner Überraschung festgestellt, dass die unterschiedlichen Klangcharakteristika durchscheinen und es offenbar gelungen ist, den bei meinen anderen magnetischen Akustik-Pickups von Fishman bzw. Seymour Duncan immer im Vordergrund stehenden elektrischen Grundsound erheblich in den Hintergrund zu drängen. Für die Montage empfiehlt sich m.E die Position in der Mitte des Schalllochs, ist aber Geschmackssache...
Sehr emphehlenswert wenn der akustische Sound im Vordergrund steht. Ich benutze keine Effektgeräte, also direkt in den Amp, sowohl Akustik- wie auchGitarrenamp.
