Great product

I was a little hesitant on cutting a hole on my Takamine ef341 to install a preamp. Fishman makes it easy with the Fishman Presys Preamp. I took my time and the installation turned out beautiful. The Fishman Presys Preamp also added value to my guitar. A worthy investment.

Fishman Presys+

Easy install if you have a Dremel and some woodworking knowledge. Only negative I would pose is that the under saddle pickup is a wire as opposed to a thin flat pickup which raises the bridge considerably and you will need to take saddle down quite a bit to compensate. Great sound otherwise.

Replacement pre-amp & pick up

Unlike many of the reviews I saw prior to purchasing my unit, I needed to replace an old system in my Fender AG 15N series acoustic. My old unit had simply quit working and was unreliable. Also, it only was Volume and tone knob, with no preamp. I purchased the Fishman presys unit and am well pleased. It didn't color my sound but it is more full. The tone adjustment is so flexible that I can plug and play in almost any system. The notch feature is great when just playing simple venues with a direct connection to house PA. Only dissatisfaction was with install template; the hole pattern was not accurate and I ended up 'slotting' the screw holes on my guitar. The body covers this and all looks good, but since I was replacing an old unit, this could have been bad. If you invest in one, carefully layout the preamp body and don't drill mounting screw holes until you have the unit fitted and opening/closing properly. It will greatly simplify and improve the installation. Great unit, worth every penny!

Crisp and clear

Not the most expensive one but works very well. I'm glad I saved some money.
by Jon Nuckles from Casper, WY on

Now I'm cooking

It amazes me haw many of our great USA Companies get their patents infringed on. The Fishman name is synonymous with great quality. So don't just see the Fishman name brand on an instrument...look to make sure its the real one...they have clear visible clues to distinguish the real thing.

Now I have the real thing...sound is amazing.

Want to make your guitar sound its best? Take it from the lifelong performers at Sweetwater and check out Fishman. If you've bought an acoustic-electric guitar, there's a good chance it came with Fishman electronics, but it's easy enough to upgrade your favorite instrument too - just ask the pros in Sweetwater's Guitar Repair Shop. Do you perform? Are you a singer/songwriter? We'd love to turn you on to Fishman's Loudbox amps and amazing pedals. But Fishman isn't limited to acoustic electronics. Many of us have tricked out our electric guitars with Fishman Fluence pickups and TriplePlay wireless MIDI systems too.
