"The sound of this new guitar pickup is as close to that of a good quality mic as you've ever heard from a guitar pickup......"

The HFN's give you a sound that is much more realistic than that of under the saddle pickups and is quite close to the sound of a good microphone. Along with being simple to install, the HFN's have excellent feedback rejection and good string to string balance.

There is nothing artificial about the sound of the HFN and the usual compressed 'quackiness' inherent in under the saddle pickup systems is noticeably absent in the HFN series.

The HFN Pickup

The HFN piezo sensing unit fits inside a guitar on the bridge plate of virtually any steel string guitar, be it a 12 string or a triple 0. Due its' design, this series of pickups produces sound much closer to that of a good microphone than any under the saddle pickup that you've ever heard.

The HFN series of pickups utilizes an elegant combination of wonderful materials: rosewood for its main structure and arching with a light weight brass shell for its noise shielded piezo unit. Total weight of the pickup is a very light 0.2 ounces ( 7 grams). It will not affect the acoustic sound of the instrument when not in use.

Each pickup is hand built and tested to ensure good sound. As well, each pickup is warranted for a period of two years from date of purchase.

Installation

There are no jigs or fixtures to mess around with during installation and there are no changes to the saddle, the saddle slot or to the playability of the guitar. All HFN's come prewired and ready to install.

The HFN will fit all steel string guitars with a clear space under the saddle (on the bridge plate) of 2.75" in length. If necessary, the feet of the arch supports of the HFN can easily be trimmed down to fit smaller openings. The thickness of the HFN is a scant quarter of an inch (0.25").

You have your choice of installing the HFN pickup on the bridge plate of your guitar using one of the two supplied mounting mediums. All HFN's come with both a 3M double sided foam tape as well as our special putty. The foam tape is a little easier to install with, while the putty takes a fraction more time. Personally, we like the sound of the pickup installed with the putty the best. Both mounting methods are simple and very secure but either way, the pickup may be removed easily at any time should you want to move it to a different instrument.

The HFN will fit virtually any X braced steel string acoustic guitar whether it has a pin bridge or not. The only hole that you need to drill is for the endpin jack

Installation is quick and simple and takes about 15 minutes (if you take your time at it).

Preamp

A single HFN is all you really need. So, we've now made our HFN pickups available with our Player endpin jack preamp. One pickup, a single channel preamp.....and volume and tone thumbwheel controls are avaiable if you'd like them.
