Here's the
Skyinbow "Pure Acoustic Pickup"

This is an entirely new breed of pickup based on knowledge gathered in violin amplification.
Kenny Johnson, the developer of this fine piece of equipment, has managed to create a pickup that really gives that acoustic feel we're all looking for.

The result of this technology and quality of these handmade little jewels is amazing. They really reproduce the true sound of your acoustic instrument like no other pickup.

Installation on a guitar is simple, but requires a little DIY. Just drill a small hole in the bridge slot (with the supplied drill) and slide the pickup in from underneath. After testing, secure it tight with a drop of glue, mount the batteryholder on the neckblock and install the strapholder-preamp. It took me 12 minutes. (You can also ask the store-technician to do it for you.)

The mandola version (or mandolin, or violin, likewise) have a great extra feature, because can be charged in 60 seconds by a 9 volt battery and need no internal battery. This charge will allow them to work for up to 16 hours. The install as easy as the guitar pickup.


On the Skyinbow website you will also find the beautiful violins he builds, the technical specs of the "pure acoustic pickup" and retailers selling them.
