Archtop Guitar Pickup
Thank you for your purchase of a FISHMAN product. Please read these instructions
carefully. If you have any questions or problems, contact our PRODUCT INFORMATION
LINE at 978-988-9665.
The FISHMAN ARCHTOP GUITAR PICKUP is a string-sensitive piezoelectric transducer.
It comes implanted in the top of a complete replacement bridge. It senses string vibra-
tions via two ceramic elements, located in the top of the bridge, directly above the height
adjustment wheels.
The ARCHTOP GUITAR PICKUP is a "passive" style ceramic pickup that can be used
without an onboard preamp. It can be plugged directly into an instrument level (minimum
1 Meg Ohm) audio input with adequate results (see Plugging In). The high quality ebony
bridge can be mounted without any physical alterations to the instrument and may be
intonated as needed.
