Description
Resonator guitars have a personality all their own — that metallic growl and cone-driven shimmer that regular acoustic pickups just can’t capture. Fishman’s Nashville Series PRO-RES-SPI was engineered around that reality, using a split-saddle piezo-ceramic design specifically shaped to sit under a spider-style bridge and track the cone’s vibration accurately, not just loudly.
Rather than forcing a generic pickup into a job it wasn’t built for, the PRO-RES-SPI reads string energy directly at the saddle split, which helps keep the reproduction even across strings and less prone to the harsh, quacky artifacts piezo pickups are sometimes known for. It comes with a 1/4″ external output jack, so mounting doesn’t require carving up your resonator’s body for an endpin jack — a nice bit of practicality for players who want to keep their instrument’s woodwork untouched.
Like most resonator pickups, this one performs best with a little help. Piezo elements are picky about impedance, and pairing the PRO-RES-SPI with an impedance-matching preamp is what unlocks its actual tonal range — skip that step and you’ll be shortchanging what the pickup can do. Because correct saddle fit and seating are critical to how it performs, Fishman recommends professional installation.
