Product Description:
Unleash the true, acoustic voice of your archtop or jazz guitar with the K&K Pure Archtop Pickup. Meticulously engineered as a twin-head transducer system, this pickup is the ultimate choice for musicians seeking natural, transparent, and vibrant amplification that faithfully reproduces the intricate nuances of your instrument. It's the ideal solution for bringing the rich, woody resonance of high-quality acoustic archtops to life on stage or in the studio.

The Pure Archtop comes complete with everything you need for a professional installation, including a convenient 2-foot feeder wire for easy routing, and a stereo endpin jack. This unique stereo jack is thoughtfully pre-wired to the tip terminal for the Pure Archtop, making it perfectly suited for advanced players looking to create a powerful hybrid setup by combining it with a magnetic pickup (sold separately). This combination, routed through a Dual Channel Pro ST Preamp (also sold separately), is widely considered the pinnacle of high-class jazz guitar amplification, adding unparalleled life and brilliance to your guitar's sound.

Please note: The K&K Pure Archtop shines brightest in high-quality, resonant acoustic archtop guitars. While it can still benefit electric jazz guitars, especially when combined with a magnetic pickup, it is less suited as a sole source for heavier, feedback-resistant electric jazz models. We advise against using this pickup with semi-acoustic guitars, particularly those with a center block like ES335 models, as they typically do not provide the ideal acoustic resonance for the Pure Archtop's optimal performance. Experience the K&K difference – pure, unadulterated archtop tone.
