Versatile Tonal Options with Onboard Pickup

From rich, woody resonance to crisp articulation, this pickup system provides tonal versatility to suit any style or song. Roll back the tone for thumpy, old-school Motown vibes or open it up for definition and clarity. The pickup's warm, full voice complements the natural resonator tone beautifully.
