Fishman Neo-D Dark Brown Single Coil Soundhole Acoustic Pickup

Esta pastilla ofrece un sonido muy natural y agradable, siempre y cuando lo conectes a un buen previo y amplificador. La instalación es sencilla y evita que dañes tu guitarra acústica dejando orificios que puedan perjudicar el sonido original. Lo deje instalado de manera permanente y no afecta en nada el sonido.

While nothing will replace a built in pickup this works as well as the best sound hole pickups I’ve seen. As with most the sound can come out a bit tinny…be sure and adjust this on your mixer for best results. I suggest cutting down a bit of your high and mid range and bumping up your low end just for fullness.

Fischman quality assured, and the tone is excellent. That is, if you are not experiencing the predictable hum which can arise with single coils. At a house party I found my homemade acoustic bass (a conversion of a regular guitar) to be unusable due to hum which even turning off the flourescent light did not fix. My other bass, with a humbucker, performed well.If you are playing outdoors or in a venue where you have control or prior experience, however, you can expect this pickup to deliver excellent tone at all frequency ranges. This was the case even with the low bass notes, which as far as I am concerned makes this pickup usable for bass as well as treble clef instruments.The other drawback, which some people might regard as a plus, is the very long cord. Although it spares you from having to carry a separate cable, it is kind of annoying to have to coil it up when putting the guitar in its case, or if the axe is on a rack or leaning in a corner. This is however a very minor inconvenience one can easily get used to, or, for the more adventurous, you can simply cut the cord and install a jack. Another plus is that you don't need to worry about batteries. Batteries do tend to last quite a long time in the instruments that use them but man oh man it is really just an unwanted bummer when they go out on you while performing live.So, overall, I like having this good-sounding pickup in my arsenal, and it is child's play to simply switch it out onto other guitars, requiring only the proper sized phillips head screw driver. Note that on some guitars, perhaps parlor guitars or concert size, you might have to file down either the side of the soundhole or, more likely, the sides of the pick up in order to get it to fit in. But on a regular dobro I don't think you will have any problem. And, it's a Fishman, so you can expect long life, good engineering and reasonable resale value. Why scrimp and buy cheap junk when you can get something solid?

If you're looking for something inexpensive just to get your acoustic guitar Amplified order it works great. Now save your money for a real one. But in the meantime I'm playing on it and I'm loving it

I have a 1976 Takamine "lawsuit" acoustic guitar. It sounds great, but its value is mostly sentimental to me, so I don't want to drill it. The Fishman Humbucker is a great alternative. Really nice sound, and I found it to be perfectly loud enough through a Bose S1 Pro. Super easy to install and I don't have any issues with the cord hanging out of the soundhole. I would definitely recommend it for these reasons. Price is right too.

I knew very little about pickups, and got this single coil because my Strat has single coils. But I didn't think about active versus passive pickups. This one is passive, meaning there's no power and it doesn't amplify the signals. It sounded good but the signal I got from it is at instrument level, not line level, and I had to compensate in my DAW to the point that it gave a hum. I'm probably misusing it, but I ended up returning it and getting an active Fisher humbucker pickup. Same manufacturer, but it's got batteries to power a preamp that raises the gain before it gets to my audio interface. I'm much happier now. There's no hum (duh, humbucker) and I like the warm sound, particularly the bass.

For the money ….. the best. Great mid range.

Maybe because my guitar is an old Ovation, it barely fits the hole, keeps falling out. It sits too high and causes the high frets to get muffed out. I removed the corking to give it more room, same thing. I wish I video taped me trying to get this one on. I re-adjusted screws and tension many times. Can't tell you how many times it fell inside the guitar. I have used other makes, with no problems but nothing like this, sorry.
