Description
Ever wished your Telecaster could switch from twangy electric bite to shimmering acoustic body without swapping guitars? That’s exactly what the Fishman Powerbridge VT delivers. Built into a vintage-style Tele bridge, this piezo replacement puts an acoustic pickup system right where your strings meet the wood, opening up tones your magnetic pickups simply can’t touch.
Rather than trying to fake an acoustic sound through EQ tricks, the Powerbridge VT captures string vibration directly through piezo elements in the saddles. Blend that with your regular pickups and you’ve got access to hybrid acoustic/electric textures, or run it solo for a surprisingly convincing unplugged-style voice live or in the studio.
Fishman designed the Powerbridge VT to drop into vintage-spec Telecasters, making it a natural fit for players chasing that classic Tele look and feel while expanding the instrument’s sonic range. Pairing it with the Fishman Powerchip preamp is recommended for the best output and tone shaping, though it’s not strictly required to get the Powerbridge running.
Because this is a bridge replacement involving piezo wiring and potentially a preamp, professional installation is strongly recommended to get everything seated, wired, and intonated correctly.
