Soundhole pickup unmeasured in comparisons

This is the pickup I use in my Fender acoustic for both on-stage and recording. It delivers a nice, clear guitar sound that is fat and respectful of both the bottom end and the high end. Manufactured in the 1980's, I have been using this since the 1980's.

Serial: 1326 There are dings, dents, and scratches all over the guitar. There are some scuffs on the back that appear to mostly come off when buffed, however we will leave these here for the buyer to determine whether they want the mojo! The neck is in pretty good condition feel-wise, but does show signs of use. Other than having some pretty old strings, the guitar plays pretty well but would feel even greater from a simple setup. Solid player all in all! Comes with a cheap old chipboard case. The nut looks to possibly have a wood shim underneath it to raise the action. The pickup is set by glue in the sound hole. The electronics function as intended.

Nut Width: 1-45/64"

Neck Thickness 1st Fret: .776"

Neck Thickness 10th Fret: .842"

Scale Length: 25.25"
