Martin 000-28 -Custom Shop 1937 Acoustic Guitar - Ambertone in Excellent Condition -I will include with this sale a Fishman Rare Earth Blend sound hole pickup with microphone...A value over $300.0Fishman's Rare Earth Blend merges the humbucking Rare Earth pickup with a high-quality internally mounted microphone for a "best of both worlds" approach to acoustic guitar amplification. The microphone is a mini hypercardioid electret for high volume and low feedback performance. The system combines the percussive attack and controlled sustain of the magnetic pickup with the resonant, ambient qualities captured by an internal microphone. Neodymium (a rare earth element, hence the name Rare Earth pickup) magnets provide excellent string-to-string balance, while the discrete circuitry keeps the Rare Earth's signal pure and clean. Fishman Rare Earth Humbucking Pickup at a Glance:The Pickup This Fishman Rare Earth pickup is a "stacked coil" style, for musicians who demand quieter reproduction than a single coil pickup can offer. A brilliance knob, located on the side of the pickup, is easily accessible through the soundhole. In the "up" position, this knob provides a subtle, rising treble boost, from 2kHz to 20kHz. This position is especially effective for adding a bit of extra sparkle to finger style playing. In the "down" position, it provides a flat response, which produces a mellower sound, well suited for strumming and flatpicking. The Preamp The preamp is housed within the pickup. A low noise circuit design preserves the pickup's performance in any audio environment. The preamp allows you to plug the Rare Earth into a full range instrument amplifier, an unbalanced input of a PA system, a recording console or direct box, without the signal loss or degradation typically found with passive soundhole pickups. You may run cables up to 80' (25m) in length without any audible loss of fidelity. Fishman Rare Earth Blend Acoustic Pickup Features:Cutting-edge neodymium (a rare earth element) magnetsHigh-quality internally mounted microphone with hypercardioid polar patternThree-dimensional amplified acoustic guitar toneGooseneck is permanently attachedCan be plugged into an instrument amplifier, sound reinforcement system, recording console or direct boxMiniature battery mounts conveniently on the underside of the pickup (batteries included)Low current design of the preamp allows 150 hours use between battery changesFits in soundholes as small as 3-5/8" diameterPre-wired output jack can also be endpin mountedActive electronics for a pure, clean soundExcellent string-to-string balanceHumbucking performance from the Fishman Rare Earth Blend acoustic pickup!YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERED SOME NICE ICING, NOW FOR THE CAKE:Martin 000-28 -Custom Shop 1937 Acoustic Guitar - Ambertone in Excellent Condition -The all-new Custom Shop 000-28 1937 rewards players with the sonic superiority of Martin’s Authentic Series and the everyday practicality of a workhorse guitar.
