## Overview

Featuring a 14ft low capacitance cable, it connects effortlessly to amps and PA systems, making it a budget-friendly, professional-grade solution for singer-songwriters and folk players seeking authentic amplified acoustic sound.

## Description

Especially great for singer-songwriters and folk strummers, the Woody Series offer a moderate response that gives you plenty of amplification while allowing your guitar to blend nicely with vocals and other instruments. All Woody Series pickups will fit nearly any acoustic guitar's sound hole, with a radius range from 3.85" to 4.10". They're also priced to fit the budgets of most musicians, and are a much more affordable alternative to buying a mic for acoustic amplification.

Review: Big Difference - for a little more money. Bought the HDE® Guitar Pickup Acoustic / Electric Transducer along with a Fender Champion 20 amp. The HDE worked, but really gave the B and E strings a much louder pickup than the others. I went on you tube to check out some other options and saw some reviews on the Seymour Duncan Woody single coil pickup. It seemed to have a much better overall sound than the HDE so I ordered one and I think there is a big difference and well worth the extra $15.00. It has more of an amplified acoustic overall sound and the B string is a lot softer than the HDE. The 14 foot cord is beefy and it has a quality 1/4 inch plug.There were some comments that you need an amp bigger than 20 watts to make this work. NOT TRUE! My vol is set to a 7 out of 10 on the vol and 4 out of 10 on the gain and works just fine on my practice amp. (I do not play in a band, just bang my strings at home) I am very happy with this combination with out having to buy and electric guitar at least for now. I have a Yamaha LL6 acoustic guitar and with this pickup I have have the best of both worlds. If you want perfection than go to you-tube and see the reviews of the ones that cost a few hundred dollars. Enjoy! (Thought about returning the HDE, but for the money I will just keep it for the different sound it produces)
Review: Excellent product - In the past I used a Dean Markley. Good product. I'd never heard of this brand, but having purchased this and looked around I've found this company is huge in acoustic guitar amplification. This pick up fits solidly in the soundhole. The cord is not a problem. In fact, it's a generously long cord, and tough (if you plan to use it on a stage.) The sound? Rich, and wooden. There's no "electric" tone from it. It is "accurate". Love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound, great pickup for a reasonable price
*by P***G on July 19, 2011*

I'm not the primary user, since this was a "just because" gift for my wife. She loved this, and when she's happy I'm happy. It's a small wooden pickup that fits into the guitar's sound hole. The finish is nice and glossy. The cable is long and more than enough. Installation and removal is a snap. Notes and chords sound more organic. That is, it retains the sound of an acoustic guitar without the "twangy" characteristic of an electric guitar. It comes in a canvas bag with a pull-string thingie to close it, which is a plus. The unit is stored in the bag when not in use. Your performance will vary depending on your setup and equipment. Got a Behringer Xenyx 802 for a studio recording setup with a digital audio workstation and a cheap-o amp. However, we did perform live for a huge birthday bash. Got this unit hooked up to a professional audio system. Though, unfortunately the acoustics of the hallroom where we performed was terrible. Not the unit's fault, or the audio setup. However, it still sounded great. Owned this since April 2011 and it hasn't disappointed. A solid buy for the price, though wishing it could do something more. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. Good luck with yours!
