Imelod Contact Microphone Piezo Pickup Violin Microphone Pickup Cello Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Guitar Microphone Pickup Mic Acoustic Guitar Pickup

I am a professional musician. I’ve had many acoustic guitars (including VERY expensive ones) with varying levels and qualities of electronics in them.Acoustic pickups have always had trouble sounding good, primarily because an acoustic guitars sound is the sum of its parts. So using a pickup is only amplifying that one area of the guitar, not the whole.I bought a cheap Gretsch Jim Dandy parlor guitar and I have actually been enjoying it quite a bit. It comes with a sound hole pickup, but that is meant to sound more like an electric pickup than an acoustic.So I figured I’d give this little contact mic a try. I am blown away. It sounds VERY good. It is best to have some sort of EQ (like a pedal) after it so that you can dial in the sound you want, as well as some sort of buffer or boost since it is a passive pickup, but this little pickup actually makes this cheap parlor guitar sound great!It’s still nothing like micing up an acoustic of course, but it is FAR better than the “under the saddle” pickups I’ve tried. Those usually sound very thin as they only pickup the strings themselves, as to where this pickup is amplifying the actual body of the guitar (which means you can get decent low end).If you need something cheap and easy that actually sounds halfway decent, this is perfect.One con is that the input jack fits pretty tight, so you really have to push or pull the cable out to get it to connect. Because it’s mostly plastic I feel this could eventually get damaged with heavy use. But at this price, you could just buy another one to replace it easy.Installation is nothing. I chose to screw the input jack into the guitar and add cable locks as well, but you don’t need all of those things. It comes with a Velcro piece to hold the jack in place.I’m very happy. Would definitely buy another one.

no tuve problemas y funciono bastante bien, lo conecte directo a mi consola/amplificador y todo de lujo.

El producto cumple con sus funciones en calidad y forma considerando el precio que cuesta. Buena elección.

Get a better on.this one is very quiet.has to be mounted 10mm under strings

Fun project using scrap wood and this transducer. Sounds really good.
