Anyone knows an normal acoustic pickup cost how much?

Could u all list down the model and the price as well.

thanks in advance.

There are a crap loads of models and it would be impossible to list them all down with the prices.
Your best bet? Do some google search first (Keywords: Acoustic Pickup) and then comment here. Also, do a price search at http://www.musiciansfriend.com and then get back to us.

My suggestion? Try Fishman pickups.... around RM500 for a basic model.

Thanks a lot.The website that u stated is very useful to me. what do u think about this Fishman Pro-Neo-D01

Magnetic Soundhole Pickup?

soundhole pickups, seymour duncan has the woody for i think around RM300.
the evil empire that is bentley brings them in.

which do you want? soundhole pickups? built in ones? under saddle?
u have got to tell us your options.

FISHMAN is a good start. if ure on a budget, their neo-D passive soundhole pickup does the job nicely and its only listed at RM239. you can get them from JS music.

Yeah,i'm looking for a soundhole one.Thanks for your suggestion.

Get a fishman. I have a Rare Earth Active pickup. it cost me about RM500-600 including installation fees ^^

Noob question here, once the pickup has been set on the acoustic guitar can it be taken off easily?

i guess to noobs like us, it would be difficult.
but to someone that has installed it before, it would be pretty straightforward n simple.

soundhole pickups are just attached by a clip.

the rest, u cant remove it unless u really really know what ur doing.

Good thing about using a soundhole pickup is that you don't need to cut your precious guitar to install the tone controls (even those with guitars below RM500 would feel pain just thinking about it)!

Soundhole pickups are also less suceptable to feedback and I heard they can be used more "forgivingly" in an electric guitar amp.

And it's cheaper too...

Of course, if you want to record all those nice "finger slide" or guitar body tapping type sounds, you'll need a built-in pickup...

Can anyone tell me where I can get "Fishman Rare Earth BLEND" soundhole pickups?

It's the one with the built in goose-neck condenser mic

JS music has them.

Hey Merlvyn, I already checked with JS they only have the ones without the condense mic. They're not sure if they can help me order it either, waitin for their feedback

i went there last year and they had it. tried the guitar store yet?

pickups are cheap... it's those on board pre-amp that will blow a big hole in your wallet.

i fixed an imix system already cost around 1.2k..

The last time i checked, fishman preamps are around 600. Preamp and pickups are different.
