Takamine Pickup Crystals Set

Will fit all Takamine Japanese made guitars

Using six individually shielded piezo-electric elements, one for each string, the Palathetic pickup is not just a UST (under-saddle-pickup).  In fact the Takamine deisgn employs twelve times the element mass of the typical under-saddle pickup.  The six elemts penetrate the bridge plate, soundboard and bridge to make direct contact with the saddle creating a sonic linkage with the string.  The pickup casing is mechanilly attached to the guitar's top and bridge creating a sonic linkage with the soundboard.  The result of this is a signal that possesses the articulation of an isoltaed string signal and the rich harmonic content delivered by the resonating soundboard for a full, complete and accurate acoustic guitar tone at high sound pressure levels.
