DiMarzio DP139 Reference Acoustic Pickup  E-mail this product to a friend

This is the acoustic pickup that breaks the rules. New technology allows us to construct a pickup that combines high inductance with low DC resistance. This design enables low notes to be very bright and clean-sounding, while allowing high notes to be warm and smooth-sounding. The result is a pickup that sounds more open and detailed than other magnetic pickups - with none of the problems with balance as you play up the neck - yet smoother and more three-dimensional than piezo saddle pickups. It's also outstandingly quiet. The electronics are built into a solid maple cover. Pole pieces are fully adjustable and calibrated for standard bronze strings, and a new three-point mounting system holds the pickup in the sound hole. A low-noise, oxygen-free cable terminates in a 1/4" cable-mount phone jack. The Reference Acoustic is the only choice for pros who demand the very best.
