Pierre Joseph String Charger (Mag) Pickup
£100


Recommended Posts

A simple single coil pickup, that attaches to the end of the fingerboard with strong velcro (two extra bits included). Not as strong or dark a sound as a Kent Armstrong, but very clear and faithful sound.

There is a jack socket built into the assembly, as well as a phono socket to accept another input (intended for a clicker under the fingerboard). The various thumb screws allow you to get a good string/pickup coil alignment and string balance. Also included is a brass bracket made to attach the pickup to the end of the fingerboard more permanently using small screws. I found the velcro works fine, but it can be fiddly to get it to lock into place.

Works well with any strings with a significant metal core or windings (Spirocores, Helicores or Innovation Honey) but won't work if there is no or little metal content in the strings.
