Frequently asked questions
What's the main physical difference between these two pickups?
Product A mounts inside the guitar body for an invisible installation, while Product B mounts in the soundhole and is visible from the front of the guitar. Both deliver the same electrical performance.
Do they have different tone characteristics?
No. Both share identical specs: 14kHz resonant frequency, -96dBV output noise, 0.5V output voltage, and 2K ohm impedance. The tone signature is the same; only the mounting method differs.
Which is better for studio recording?
Both are equally suitable for studio recording. Choose based on your guitar's construction: body-mounted works for guitars with accessible interiors, while soundhole-mounted suits any acoustic without requiring internal modification.
Can I easily swap between guitars?
The soundhole-mounted version (Product B) is quicker to move between instruments. The body-mounted version (Product A) requires more permanent installation and modification to each guitar's interior.
