Editorial Review:

Product Description:
If we were to judge the caliber of acoustic guitar pickups simply by customer response, then the K&K Pure Western would be the hands-down winner. Our customers simply love this pickup, often coming back to order 3 or 4 more after installing one for the first time. Like the B-Band AST and the PUTW #27, the K&K Pure pickup secures to the underside of your bridgeplate, inside the guitar. Although it's officially a passive pickup, it generates a high output, using 3 pickup heads (4 for the "Classic" version), to capture the warmth of your guitar with remarkable accuracy. These pickups are designed to be super-glued to the soundboard, but K&K is now also shipping them with adhesive nylon strips, so you can experiment with placement first, if you so choose.

It is worth noting, too, that while this smaller version (the "mini") was originally designed for use in smaller instruments, K&K is now recommending it for all permanent installations of the Pure.
