The FanTaStick is an undersaddle transducer that was developed to stay true to K&K's mission of capturing the most natural guitar sound possible. Made in USA. Other undersaddle pickups tend to overemphasize the signal from the strings and lose the corpus vibrations that makes a guitar unique. We created a super-light production technique to solve this problem: Only ultra-thin material surrounds the piezo-crystals to ensure that the corpus vibrations reach the crystals with virtually no interference. This means that electronic post-processing to improve the sound is not required. Additional, this production method also has the benefit of making the FanTaStick extremely flexible to fit any arched base. To balance the volume of each string, we measure each crystal separately within a nano-inch range. Only six crystals of exactly the same height are combined in one FanTaStick. Each crystal is fit in according to a defined direction of polarization. Even playing in "open tunings" is possible, because the FanTaStick can function with lower string pressure than many of its competitors. The FanTaStick can be directly connected to an amplifier or mixer. However, we highly recommend one of our K&K preamps for optimum adaptation of impedance of this extremely high-ohmic pickup to standard line or amplifier inputs. FanTaStick Classic (for nylon string guitars) Possible E-e string distance: 56mm - 60mm Height:1.6mm Width: 2.3mm Cable length: 1 ft.

Schaller 4 Band Preamp with 747 Piezo Bridge Saddle Pickup and Prefab plastic bridge. Made in Germany. The basic concept of this piezo/preamp combination is the noisefree transmission of the natural acoustic guitar sound in its full dynamic quality. With this combination the entire tonal spectrum of the acoustic guitar, from crystal-clear melody lines to powerful chord strumming, is faithfully reproduced. This was made possible by the use of high-grade materials such as polyester capacitors, metal film resistors, noiseless ICs and studio-quality sliders, finetuned with a carefully selected pre-contour filter and musically useful EQ frequencies.
