The Shadow SH 145-BK Acoustic Guitar Pickup is a high-quality and affordable active humbucker pickup for soundhole placement in acoustic guitars. Featuring a sensitive volume control, perfect balanced output, complete shielding and a 12 foot cable, this neat and dynamic pickup is ideal for guitarists looking to electro-up their existing acoustic with minimum fuss.
This pickup is designed to give a truly authentic acoustic guitar sound. Unlike most other magnetic pickups which give an electric guitar sound, the SH 145 Prestige gives a crisp natural acoustic sound. It is built as a stacked humbucker using powerful samarium cobalt magnets. Adjustable pole pieces are trimmed to provide a perfect string balance for the acoustic guitar strings.
As it is a humbucker, it is free of 50/60Hz hum. A complete shielded case and low impedance output protect it from outside magnetic disturbances and make it totally hum-free. Electronic circuitry is powered by a single 3V cell battery with extremely low power consumption. Volume control and easy installation make this award-winning pickup one of the user-friendliest pickups on the market. An endpin connection cable for permanent installation and a detachable quick mount 12ft (4m) cable are included.
