Shadow Guitar Pickups

Sometimes it pays to specialize - and Shadow guitar pickups are the perfect examples to show it. By focusing exclusively on acoustic guitars, they've given themselves the freedom to develop pickups of just about every style. And that gives you a certain freedom too: the ability to choose whichever pickups are the perfect fit for your instrument and the sound you want it to deliver when it's plugged in. From classic pickup designs to modern wireless models and innovative variations on the traditional, there's plenty to see here no matter what sort of acoustic guitarist you happen to be. So as you start sifting through the options, keep your ideal kind of pickup in mind and it shouldn't take you long to find your personal best.

For those of us who like to keep things traditional, a good starting point would be the selection of piezo pickups, including the Shadow SH066 Bridge Pickup for Acoustic Guitar and the Shadow Under Saddle Bridge Pickup for Acoustic and Classical Guitar. Or, if you'd rather use something that's closer in design to an electric guitar pickup, consider a soundhole-mounted type like the Shadow SH 330 Passive Soundhole Single Coil Pickup or the Shadow SH 145 Prestige Active Soundhole Humbucker - these even come in wireless all-in-one styles, such as the Shadow PanaMAG Acoustic Guitar Wireless System Pickup. Another type of pickup here worth considering is the transducer, which picks up vibrations directly from the guitar's top. Some examples of those would be the Shadow Singleducer With 1/4" Socket and the Shadow Quick Mount Removable Transducer With 12' Cable.

No matter which of these Shadow guitar pickups turns out to be most in line with your instrument's fitment options and your own tastes, it's safe to say that you're on the right track to getting fantastic tone out of your acoustic whenever it's plugged in. That might mean big venues where the volume boost is necessary to reach the nosebleed section, or stage setups connected to a house sound system - to name just two possibilities! The bottom line is there are lots of occasions to get plugged-in, and Shadow guitar pickups are well-qualified to help you do it.
