Fishman Rethinks Guitar Pickups
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGNIVl4CIPY
After 34 years Fishman finally feels he has something to add to electric pickup tech
Coils are laid as traces on a PCB rather than wound wire around the magnet.
Perfect Hum elimination by printing mathematically perfect reversed coils. Even works for single coil systems via filtering and boosting in the pre-amp.
Magnets were measured and analyzed so they could create a fully flat, neutral pickup pattern response as a platform to work from.
Variables are all isolated, so they can play with all factors without impacting others, to create the sounds they want, and variations can be switched on the fly.
Rechargeable via USB. Entire system fits into your guitar with no mods.
Claimed battery life 250h. 10 full days.
Single coil or any coil sounds from active pickup circuit means buffered guitar output, so long cable runs aren’t a problem.
