Description
Every acoustic player eventually hits that wall: crank the volume, and the guitar starts fighting back with feedback. Fishman built the Neo-Buster to solve exactly that problem, pairing their well-regarded Neo-D humbucking pickup with an integrated soundhole cover that keeps energy from building up inside the body in the first place.
Tonally, this is a magnetic soundhole pickup that leans warm and full while canceling hum and stray interference thanks to its humbucking coil design. It’s built around the same neodymium magnet structure found in Fishman’s celebrated Rare Earth pickup, which means even string-to-string balance and a clarity that doesn’t blur out under drive or effects. There’s no battery to worry about either — the low-profile, high-impedance design runs passive.
The real trick is the flexible elastomer surround acting as a feedback buster. It seals against the top of the guitar to tame the internal resonance that causes uncontrollable howling at high volumes, and it does so without reacting with most finishes or requiring any tools to fit. Just press it into place.
