Schatten HFN-C Active Classical/Nylon Guitar Pickup w/Soundhole Volume and Tone

Under-bridge Transducer Guitar Pickup
Includes Endpin Jack with Built-in Preamp
Easy to Install, No Soldering
For Nylon String Classical Guitars
Full Two Year Warranty

The HFN-C Active VT pickup includes the HFN pickup sensor, a single channel preamp built into the endpin jack, and a soundhole mounted volume/tone control assembly.

"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-C models give you a sound that is much more realistic and acoustic than anything that you have ever experienced before. More realism in attack, more realism in overall response, these pickups actually allow your instrument to sound just as good plugged in as it does unplugged.The only thing missing from the HFN-C in a classical is the 'quack' that everyone has come to expect and accept in classical acoustic pickups.

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 nylon string guitar, be it a 12 string or a triple 0. Due to 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 nylon string guitars with a clear space under the saddle (on the bridge plate) of 2.75" in length. The pickup sensor is designed to span the center brace found in most nylon string guitars. 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").

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.

Preamp

The HFN Artist series of pickups includes a high quality preamp built right into the endpin jack. This pickup can be used with or without an external preamp/eq/mixer, or can be plugged directly into your amp or PA system.

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 nylon 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).
