Acoustic Guitar Pickup???
I'm going to get my boyfriend an acoustic guitar pickup but don't really know much about them. I'm hearing about preamps and that they are needed? He wants a cheap one but I don't want to get him a crappy one that stinks and he doesn't use.
So I guess my questions are:
1. Should I get something a bit more expensive, like will it be worth the money??
2. What is a preamp and will it be necessary for the use of the pickup?
3. Any suggestions for what brand of pickup?
Go to Gibson, Yamaha, and SeymourDuncan. Their websites, I mean. The first two are guitar manufacturers, and the last is a pickup manufacturer. Their websites should give you an idea of what to get. Some pickups are so weak, they require a preamp to send a strong enough signal to an amp.
Some are so strong, they will overpower an amp's inputs. Just do some research, based on the guitar he uses, his playing habits/music likes, and what amp he uses, and you should get to the right one for him!
