Description
The EMG ACS is proof that going active isn’t just for electrics — it’s often the smarter route for acoustic amplification too. Passive sound hole pickups can struggle with weak output and noise, but the ACS sidesteps both thanks to an onboard preamp voiced specifically for the phase and frequency behavior of a steel-string acoustic. Fingerstyle players like Pat Kirtley gravitate toward it for a reason: it captures the shimmer and openness of a natural acoustic voice without dulling the top end, while staying dead quiet in mix situations where hum and hiss usually creep in.
This listing is for a gently used black ACS, functionally identical to new stock and ready to drop into your sound hole with minimal fuss.
