DiMarzio DP136 Super Natural Plus Acoustic Guitar Pickup

The Super Natural Plus is just what it's name implies - it goes beyond ordinary-sounding pickups with incredibly crisp treble and tight bass response, and patented 60-cycle hum reduction. This combination allows acoustic players to deal with real-world situations where feedback and weak sound can be major problems. The pickup is encased in a plastic cover molded to look like dark rosewood, including the wood grain. It installs easily beneath the strings. Shock-absorbing foam lines the inside edges of both mounting brackets keeping the pickup in place and protecting the soundhole. There are individual adjustable poles for each string, and the built-in 12 ft. cable is thin and light. The Super Natural Plus also features a slide volume control for easy adjustment while playing. Simply put, the Super Natural Plus is a hassle-free, easy-to-use soundhole acoustic pickup, and the natural choice for outstanding acoustic tone.

Many dreadnought-size guitars are very loud and very bass-heavy. Amplifying them can be a real problem. The Super Natural addresses the problem by really tightening up the low end and kicking up the highs. If you're going to combine it with a piezo bridge pickup, we recommend using a phase-switch equipped preamp or mixer to achieve correct phase relationship and separation.

Recommended for: Soundhole in all steel-string guitars.
