What pickups do you recommend?

Frequently asked questions
Resonator guitars are feedback machines, which makes electronically amplifying them tricky. We use Highlander pickups in our single cone, tricone and spider cone guitars because they have been engineered specifically for our instruments. The single cone pickup is called the IP-1X; the tricone pickup is the Magnophonic and we now have a spider-cone pickup for our Model D. When requested, we will install the pickup at the time we make the guitar or we can retrofit one in later.

Do Taylor guitars come with pickups installed? What kind of pickups do you recommend for Taylors?

Taylor Guitars | FAQs Answers
The majority of Taylor models come with a pickup as a standard feature (the model number will include an "E" for "electric," as in "710ce". For years, we installed Fishman electronics in Taylors; in January of 2003, Taylor debuted its own proprietary pickup, called the Expression System (ES), installed in the 500 Series and up (we continued to equip our 300 and 400 Series with Fishman products throughout 2003, but made the transition to ES for both series as of 2004).

Where should I put the pickups?

Musical Instrument Makers Forum miniFAQ: Acoustic Guitar Mak...
Opinions vary when it comes to pickup placement. Some say that it makes no difference, some say as far apart as possible to give a maximum tone difference between the two, while others say that the pickups should be placed underneath the (open) string harmonic nodes. Everyone agrees on the following, though: too close to the bridge results in a tinny, "twangy" sound. The best advice would be to measure the pickup location on a guitar you like and use that as a starting point.

Do EMG pickups need a battery?

Frequently Asked Questions
All of the active guitar and bass pickups we make require a battery; the Select models are passive and don't need one. The active pre-amp, located in the pickup housing, is powered by this battery.
Related Questions

Can I adjust the output level of my pickups?

The pre-amp circuitry in each EMG pickup is factory preset for the optimum output level. This level was carefully determined to minimize hum and noise while maximizing a clean output signal under heavy playing and high transients, and can't be modified.

Can I mix EMG's with passive pickups?

Frequently Asked Questions
It is possible to mix EMG's with passive pickups. There are three possible wiring configurations; one is better than the other two. Use the high impedence (250K-500K) volume and tone controls. The problem is that the high impedence controls act more like a switch to the EMG's. The passive pickups, however, will work fine. If you have a guitar with two pickups and two volume pots, with a three-way switch, there is another alternative.
Related Questions

My instrument is passive. Can I add active controls without having to replace the pickups too?

Frequently Asked Questions
Probably. Even though they put passive electronics in many instruments, for the most part they used low impedance (active) pickups. These can be wired with either active or passive tone controls. We recommend checking with the pickup manufacturer first before doing any work though. They can tell you exactly which pickups you have and what wiring options are available.

Why do you recommend stretching?

Frequently Asked Questions
Stretching and exercise enhance each other. Stretching lengthens muscles; exercise shortens muscles. Like exercise, stretching must be safe and requires warm-up, reasonable levels of exertion, and adequate rest periods. A regular stretching program keeps our muscles limber, prevents injuries, and enables us to be physically active.

Kensington Veterinary Hospital - Home Page
We strongly recommend implanting a microchip in your pet. It is a safe, simple and permanent form of pet identification. Microchips are about the size of a grain of rice and are implanted using a needle. Anesthesia is not required. The microchips contain a unique identification number. When the lost animal is taken to a shelter or veterinarians office, the pet is scanned for a microchip.
