Find the Acoustic Guitar Pickup That Captures Your Sound


Much like electric guitar pickups, acoustic guitar pickups transform mechanical energy (string vibrations) into electrical energy. This energy, known as a signal, flows into an amplifier, where it is transformed back into mechanical energy as sound waves.


With acoustic guitars, aftermarket pickups come in four main types based on their installation position: soundhole, under-saddle, bridge plate, and body surface. Explore each pickup type below to find the best fit for your playing style.


Which Acoustic Guitar Pickup Type Fits Your Playing Style?


Soundhole Pickups


Magnetic soundhole pickups are the most popular for acoustic guitars because they don’t require invasive modifications. In addition to being easy to install and uninstall, soundhole pickups are generally less expensive. There is an array of soundhole pickup types to choose from, ranging from humbucker to single-coil-style designs.


Under-saddle Pickups


Another popular aftermarket option, under-saddle piezo pickups enhance string definition due to their placement directly under the end of the strings. They have a bright and percussive sound with excellent note clarity, making them a popular choice for fingerstyle guitarists and strummers alike. Under-saddle pickups are also loud and resistant to feedback, which is why they are an industry standard for live performances.


Bridge Plate Pickups


Internal bridge plate pickups are the most complex of the four acoustic pickup types and can be tricky to install. Bridge plate pickups produce a warm, natural tone and are known for their wide dynamic range and sonic accuracy.


Contact Pickups


Also known as body surface pickups, stick-on contact pickups provide a quick and easy way to amplify the sound of an acoustic guitar. They produce a warm, natural tone, are easy to install, and are ideal for guitarists who play in cafés and other small venues.


How Do Acoustic Pickups Work?


An acoustic guitar pickup captures string vibrations and converts them into an electrical signal, which can then be amplified using an acoustic amp or PA system.


Will an Acoustic Pickup Change Your Guitar’s Natural Tone?


Yes. Your guitar’s natural tone can change depending on the pickup type and position. If you’re unsure which pickup will best complement your guitar’s voice, the luthiers at Sweetwater’s Guitar Workshop can help you find the right match.
