Review: Great Pick up - I bought this to fit to my 1971 Washburn D10. I have a similar pick up fitted to a Martin Acoustic, and was pleased with the sound of that. This pick up gives a great sound. It is not easy to get an acoustic guitar sounding like an acoustic when plugged in, but this does it brilliantly. I have started gigging with this in favour of the Martin. I got it fitted by a professional luthier, and he had to alter the groove on the saddle to accommodate the thin bar pick up. Not a job I would recommend anyone tries, unless they are pretty good at this type of job.
Review: Good quality sound - Very nice sound,clear and easy to install fitted to my old Ramirez classical guitar, had problems securing the battery and wires as the adhesive pads supplied was not good enough, Fishman need to improve on this minor detail

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Wide or narrow version? What does this refer to? What would I need for an acoustic guitar?**
A: Wide or narrow refers to the width of the pickup. As the pickup is installed in the saddle slot of the guitar you should pick the type that has the same width or slightly less than your saddle. I think the wide version is about 3.2mm wide while the narrow is 2.3 mm

**Q: Is this suitable for a bass? if not, I'm looking for one that is, any suggestions?**
A: Yes check the length of the saddle on the bass, or string spread, outside to outside of E to G if the pickup strip length is just longer it should work! I fit these professionally, I’m a luthier if the pickup isn’t long enough they do a cable type pickup that’s a bit more forgiving on length ok

**Q: Is this pickup suitable for classical guitar?**
A: Hi there. Fishman do make a pickup specific for classical guitars called the Matrix Infinity Classical (OEM) which would probably be more suitable.

Very nice sound,clear and easy to install fitted to my old Ramirez classical guitar, had problems securing the battery and wires as the adhesive pads supplied was not good enough, Fishman need to improve on this minor detail

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive and fidly to install but ok
*by M***R on 12 January 2024*

The stock piezo pickup on my Faith Venus was getting a bit flaky and to replace it and improve on the sound I tried this one. The sound was an improvement although you still can't get rid of the 'quack' totally. The tone control and EQ switch don't do a great deal to modify the sound IMO. You'd have more control with the EQ in your amp. Having said that the sound is mellower than that produced from the stock pickup. The thing that really let this pickup down IMO was the mount fittings for the volume and tone unit. You get a choice of two - equally useless in my opinion. There's some small amount of adhesive on the mounting surface, but this is weak and the contact surface very small and it had no chance of sticking to the unvarnished wood of the inside of the soundhole. You would have to do a bit of a DIY job to prepare the surface and maybe use some strong glue. The support person at Fishman suggested I try that. It's not a plug and play solution anyway. Even when you would fix it with glue, the pressure you put on the little EQ switch is pushing on an unsupported part of the unit and would easily dislodge it in time. I resorted to sticking it on the outside for now. The suggested location of the battery holder is on the neck join inside the soundhole. Having installed it there, and I don't see any better place to put it, it's a challenge to undo the velcro pouch and get at the battery without slackening off the strings. I would say to do a proper job of installing this prepare to do some DIY to your guitar.
