Description

Edit description

Experience unparalleled sound quality with the Sunrise S-1 acoustic guitar pickup, a revered choice among professional musicians for over two decades. This meticulously crafted pickup is designed to deliver an authentic acoustic tone, even at high sound pressure levels, making it a staple both on stage and in the studio. Handbuilt by Jim Kaufman, each Sunrise S-1 features individually adjustable pole pieces, giving you the ultimate control over string balance and tone.

This versatile pickup fits sound holes ranging from 4" to 3 1/2" in diameter, accommodating both 6 and 12-string guitars. Its unique design allows it to couple and sense the body resonance and top of the guitar, maintaining an impressive feedback threshold of 116dB. Encased in a robust black ABS composite housing and sealed in epoxy, the Sunrise S-1 is completely shielded from RF and hum, ensuring a pristine sound experience.

Whether you're a right or left-handed player, switching the pickup between guitars is a breeze, thanks to the Longwire version, which includes a 24" connecting wire. This model is perfect for those who prefer not to modify their guitars with internal jacks, offering flexibility without sacrificing performance. With a transferable lifetime guarantee, the Sunrise S-1 stands as a testament to durability and superior craftsmanship.

Key Features:

Handbuilt with high-quality components for superior sound
Adjustable pole pieces for optimal string balance
Fits sound holes from 4" to 3 1/2"
Robust ABS composite housing, sealed in epoxy
RF and hum shielded for clean sound
2.0K-2.2K Ohm output
Longwire version with 24" connecting wire for easy installation
