FISHMAN BLACKSTACK SOUNDHOLE PICKUP

Bringing acoustic guitars to life

Leave it to Fishman to design a humbucking pickup that’s easily installed into virtually any flat-top steel-string acoustic. Whether onstage or in the studio, the ceramic magnets with adjustable pole pieces allow guitars to cut through the mix with excellent string balance. The face of the pickup features a pair of fastening screws, enabling us to go from box to rock in five minutes. The Blackstack delivered vibrant, dynamic tones and zero howl—even when we tried. We cranked the distortion and rocked some blues with foot-stomping results. While the ease of the soundhole plug-and-play installation is a plus, one can also perform a semipermanent installation using the included mounting kit.
