The Integrated Saddle Pickup
The Integrated Saddle Pickup is an invention of Rich Barbera of Barbera
Tansducer Systems
which picks up the
vibrations of the string (Nylon or steel) with unsurpassed fidelity. It
is installed in place of the usual bone saddle and does not interfere
with the acoustic sound of the guitar even when the pickup is not
connected to an amplifier.
I have built one guitar with this saddle and was very impressed
with the quality of the amplified sound and by the natural sound when
not connected.
I can include the Integrated Saddle Pickup in a new custom guitar if
desired.
I can also modify an existing guitar to include the saddle if the
bridge construction permits it. Please contact me if interested.
