Item Description

(Sorry - there's no video available for this product just yet!)

This Transducer pickup by Boston, which has been specialy designed for acoustic instruments, is a very little device lets you turn your acoustic into an electro-acoustic, giving your instrument a new lease of life for amplification purposes. Obviously the overall result depends on the sound of the guitar when its unplugged, but as a rule you'll get a much bigger, warm sound using a Cap pickup than an Piezo pickup (which generally sits inder the bridge. As a Piezo pickup gets the sound right at the end of the string they tend to sound tinny, whereas these give a full bodied sound.

Please note that drilling is required - the socket which you plug into doubles up as the guitar strap endpin. This needs a 12mm hole drilling - straight forward, but if you're not sure get your dad/mum/uncle/mate's dad/mum etc to get back from the pub, or from watching soaps or playing golf (delete as applicable) and ask them to give you a hand. Then just peed off the double sided tape from the back of the pickup and stick it to the inside of the guitar body. You may want to try moving it to different places to find a happy medium for your sound.

Beware - when you find a sweet spot, you'll be overwhelmed with the sound!

Full fitting instructions as follows:

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:

• 1. Remove the plastic film from the back of the transducer to expose the adhesive. Place the transducer through the sound hole to the lower part of the front body where the guitar produces the best tonal response (try a number of different positions and you will discover your instruments sweet spot). Be sure to remove any dust before placing.
• 2. Remove the existing end pin, and drill the hole out to 12mm. Loosen the end--pin jack nut, insert it to the hole, and tighten the nut.
• 3. Connect the end-pin jack to the guitar amplifier cable, and enjoy your instrument that now amplifies it's natural warm tones!!!
