Dynamic Duo Steel String Guitar Pickup - Superb sound
This kit combines a Stealth UST pickup with a #27 soundboard pickup for the most dynamically expressive Steel string guitar pickup system offered to date by anyone. The outputs are usually wired in stereo at the jack, but when they are wired to mono, each of the tonal contributions of the two pickup styles are blended perfectly. Extremely woody and dynamic, this is our top of the line system for steel string guitars . For coupling to a Stealth pre-amp, specify 'mini plug' when ordering. Simple installation.

PUTW #54 Acoustic Guitar Dual Element SBT(Sound Board Transducer)
This pickup is PUTW's flagship soundboard pickup for steel string guitars. Comprised of a pair of Model #27 steel string pickups, the installation is greatly simplified, and the tone is very natural with a slight emphasis in the bass & treble registers. The two pickup elements are placed on either end of the bridgeplate so that one is right next to the bass X brace and the other is right next to the treble X brace. There is no guess work involved in the positioning, and the result is very feedback resistant due to the stiffness of the mounting locations. The tone is improved across the board from our single element pickups, and this is especially noticeable on lighter or more boutique instruments that can tend to have an exaggerated midrange emphasis with other soundboard pickups. The tones are clear and solid with more pronounced detail than with our single model #27s, and midrange overloads are eliminated. The signals from the two pickups can be combined by the PUTW mono-in / mono-out Power Plug, or mixed with the PUTW Stereo Power Blender

Pick Up the World Model 54 Guitar Transducer
PUTW #27 Acoustic Guitar Soundboard Pickup
Comes pre-wired to a high quality endpin jack, and uses a proprietary film pickup mounted with adhesive tape to the bridgeplate. The tone is rich and full, yet surprisingly feedback resistant. This is the system that put PUTW on the map, and is easy to install without modifications to the instrument other than an enlarged endpin hole for the output jack. For coupling to a Stealth pre-amp, specify ST when ordering.

Pick Up the World Model 27 Guitar Transducer
Stealth UST Guitar Pickup
Comes pre-wired to a high quality endpin jack. The Stealth UST captures all of the subtle nuances of Steel stringed guitars without being overly 'stringy' or metallic sounding (see reviews). The pickup requires a small hole under the bridge saddle slot, but does not diminish the natural dynamics or volume of the instrument. For coupling to a Stealth pre-amp, specify 'mini plug' when ordering.

The Quack Buster" Acoustic Guitar Soundboard Pickup
PUTW's on-board tone patch. Similar to our Model #27, the Quack Buster is a very easy to install soundboard transducer that is designed to be used with guitars that have existing saddle type pickups installed. As the name implies, the Quack Buster eliminates most if not all of the irritating piezo 'quack' from saddle type pickups, while at the same time adding warmth, depth, and harmonic detail to the signal.
