| ARTIST SERIES ELITE-430 RECOMMENDED USES New from JJB-Electronics comes the newest addition to our Artist series line of pickups, THE ELITE 430. Our new line of pickups are constructed with the finest components available today. In fact, they are the same components that are used by other companies that sell their systems for more than twice as much. The latest release from our new Artist Series, The Elite - 430. These are built using very high quality 20mm piezo's. We can now offer to substitute these for 15mm piezo's upon request. Please select the desired size from the drop-down menu above. This configuration is designed for guitars which do not provide enough space on the bridgeplate to allow for the bigger sized piezo's. Both systems have a very similar tone but the smaller system provides a little less output than the bigger sized system. In many cases this slight difference is negated by the higher resonance of a smaller bridgeplate. These can be used with or without a preamp with fantastic results. These are ideal if you desire a less defined bass and mid-range output. They are designed for more resonant guitars or ones with thinner soundboards. It utilizes a triple surface transducer design. This results in a very wide frequency range and very natural reproduction of sound. The three-piezo configuration offers a few advantages over single and double piezo systems. Having three piezo’s affords you the opportunity to place them at three different points on the soundboard thus resulting in an improved dynamic range due to the fact that they transmit the resonance found at more than one point. These special surface transducers are under less pressure than under saddle pickups thus decreasing the likelihood of them transmitting a percussive or harsh sound. Each piezo is designed to pick up a string pair as well as the resonance found in a significant amount of the soundboard. These do not "fade" or distort at high volume or with high-power systems. The highs are crystal clear while the lows are, what they should be, low! This system utilizes a premium quality Switchcraft 1/4” nickel plated stereo end-pin jack. This system will give you a very “clean” install for those who do not want to compromise the integrity of their beloved instrument. The end-pin jack also doubles as a strap button. The volume and tone controls let you tune in the exact sound that you are looking for. These are built with enough cabling to allow you to mount the volume and tone controls on the upper bout of any standard dreadnought sized guitar. For applications requiring a little less, or more cabling, don't hesitate to send us an email noting the details of your application. We will respond promptly, and should be able to facilitate your request. These, like all of our systems, can be installed in less than an hour. They are a very simple and inexpensive means of turning your acoustic instruments in to acoustic electric. |

| TAYLOR GS MINI OWNERS REJOICE! The jack can be substituted with the style that you see here. You can add this option from the drop-down menu above. This is recommended if you are installing in a Taylor GS mini, or any other guitar that already has a screw mounted strap button. This will utilize the same holes that the original strap button is mounted with. Please keep in mind that you will have to make the solder connections with this jack. The piezo leads will be prepped for you, and you will be provided with installation instructions. A 1" piece of heat-shrink tube and enough solder to complete the job will also be included. Please contact us regarding cable lengths if you plan to install this system in a smaller scale guitar like the GS mini. |
