The Pure Western comprises 3 mini transducer pickup heads wired to a standard endpin jack socket - use double sided tape or superglue gel (both supplied) to attach them inside your guitar to the underside of the bridge (bridgeplate). Correct placement is not a problem if you’re reasonably proficient at this type of job - on most instruments there is an half inch (12mm) margin for error - we have seen some wild placements that sound great! Although it is a passive system, the Pure Western Mini delivers enough signal to your acoustic combo or PA to sound great, although if you play in larger venues or with long cables you may want to condider add a preamp. K & K Pure Western Mini - manual (PDF) Vintageguitar.co.uk Says: The sound that the Austrian fingerstylist and Lowden demonstrator Thomas Leeb gets using these K and K pickups is fantastic - he suggested that we got some and we started fitting them to Lowden guitars at first... they worked really well on such responsive instruments and soon people started bringing in their Martin and Collings guitars for us to fit them to them. I can vouch for the good ears of many of our customers and have had nothing but great comments about these pickups and their natural, faithful response. |
