Thread Name: Tech: fishman rare earth single coil
Subject: RE: fishman rare earth single coil
Gee, I was stumped on that. I thought it was some sort of electronic fishing equipment. Kat's link says it's a soundhole-mounted pickup/microphone for an acoustic guitar.
Where's the name come from? Rare earth?-Wuzzat?
What are the characteristics of a single coil pickup?
Is there a reason you prefer these pickups to others, Alex?
Seems to me I could learn something about guitar pickups from Alex's search?
There's a closeup picture of the pickup here (click). $110 sounds like a pretty good price.
