USER GUIDE
NEO-D® SOUNDHOLE PICKUPS

Requirements
Neo-D pickups are designed to fi t most steel string, fl at-top guitars with a
minimum 3 5⁄8 – inches (9.2cm) diameter soundhole. We recommend you string
your guitar with bronze or phosphor bronze strings to achieve the best response
from the pickup.
Description
Neo-D Single Coil - Produces the bright, shimmering qualities associated
with single coil pickups. Note that a single coil pickup by its nature is susceptible
to 50 – 60Hz hum. To minimize hum, keep the Neo-D away from fl orescent lights,
dimmer packs, computer monitors and transformers.
Neo-D Humbucking - Stacked-coil humbucking design rejects most
50 – 60Hz hum for brilliant acoustic tone and quieter reproduction than a single
coil pickup.
