This revolutionary pickup is the perfect solution for musicians seeking a dynamic amplified sound that stays true to the natural acoustic tone. Engineered with a unique internal preamp, specifically tailored for an acoustic guitar's phase and frequency response, the ACS Pickup provides an authentic sound experience.

The broad frequency range of the ACS Pickup enhances both the bright top-end and full low-end of your acoustic guitar. This creates a natural tone that sounds like it's coming straight from the soundhole, rather than an electronic pickup.
