I bought this pickup for an old concertina acoustic guitar bought in America sometime in the late 80's. High build quality and clean sound, though lacking in separation and dynamic range from only having a single coil. Summary: For the cheap price, this is a perfect entry into acoustic pickups for those who have none. The screws shouldn’t be tighten too strong – just to keep pick up on its place and make no mechanical noises. Then we can decrease the height and opportunity to lower the pickup by 2-3 millimeters down. You can even put pieces of thin velvet or corduroy instead. You can replace the cork’s upper parts of the gaskets with a softer material - polyurethane foam or something similar. Thickness of cork is about 4 millimeters. Suggestion: The pickup’ holders are equipped with gaskets made of cork, to exclude damage of coating of the guitar top or the upper deck, if you wish. Some buyers complains about the situation when the height of pick up gets to high after it’s installation, so the strings lays down right on a pickup making the playing impossible. Then you don’t need to wrap your guitar with cables – just unplug the long part and leave the short one inside your guitar.Ģ. Then you can choose any guitar cable you like and replace one of the 6 5 mm standard jacks with a small one, 3.5 mm jack which fits the socket you’ve installed. Preferably with the screws so you never lose the electric connection…
Please don’t buy the cheap ones – any jacks by Sennheiser, Swithcraft, Neutric are fine. You can cut the cable leaving some 0-30 cm ‘tail’ which could be equipped by female 3.5 mm (cable type) jack socket. The reasons are very simple and explainable I think.įirst of all, any guitar cable of good quality is comparable in price with the price if this recent pickup.
Some folks complains about the fact that the cable can’t be detached, or ‘unplugged’ from the pickup itself. Some people complains about the cable which seems not of very good quality to them. I’ll try to find the solutions for the ‘contras’ mentioned and get some ways to overcome them.ġ. This pick up is very good in it’s class and I don’t have too much to add to the comments which are already done here.
