adding a pickup
I recently picked up a nice older Tak classical, and would like to add a pickup. I'm thinking K&K or JJB type - is there anything better for a classical? Since the guitar doesn't have an endpin, what's the best non-invasive, or least invasive option?

Hi, especially in classical guitars, I don’t mind adding an endpin, but I use those for electric guitars which don’t have a strap pin and become quite invisible if chosen in black. What I do mind are internal batteries, so I advice to go for a passive one. K&K has an hotter signal than JJB but are quite similar. They need EQ and are feedback prone. A better choice would be IMHO a Schatten HFN-C. The best choice would be a Barbera pickup, sounds clean, articulate, very feedback resistant and does not require EQ.

I think there's one which clamps in the sound hole and has a half moon like volume wheel.. And isn't there one which with small putty sticks to the bridge ?
I forget some of those names from back when I dealt with upright bass pickups... Oh yeah, "Fishman" !! That's one, anyway....Isn't there one which starts with a P ? Peiso ?........ M |
