A customer wanted a pickup fitted to his Guild guitar. I had previously fitted a K&K Pure Mini pickup to one of his other guitars and he was very happy with it, so it was a simple decision to go with the same pickup. This type of pickup uses three small transducers which are attached to the bottom of the guitar's bridge plate. It is a passive design, so has no need of a battery. It also has no on-board controls, which some may see as a disadvantage. I've generally found that acoustic guitar pickups don't always do a great job of reproducing the sound of the guitar, This one does a good job and is relatively inexpensive.
Installation of this pickup is a little bit unusual in that the best results are obtained by supergluing the transducers onto the underside of the bridge plate. Needless to say that if you ever want to remove the pickup, the chances are that it will be destroyed in the process!
