Description
Classical guitars are notoriously fussy under amplification — too much quack, too little warmth, uneven string balance. The EAS Element system tackles all three by getting the sensor closer to the source. The thin, flexible undersaddle pickup conforms to the saddle and bridge contact points more completely than rigid designs, so it reads string vibration with less of that brittle piezo edge and more of the guitar’s actual character. Because it’s built to handle common spacing variations, including 3/32″ and 1/8″ saddle widths, string-to-string output stays consistent instead of favoring the trebles or burying the bass.
Power and tone shaping live in a discrete class-A preamp mounted right at the endpin jack, pre-contoured so you’re not hunting for EQ settings before a gig — plug in and play. Volume control sits at the soundhole via a small thumbwheel, installed without soldering or drilling into the top, which matters a lot when you’re talking about a nylon-string instrument you’d rather not modify. A no-drill mesh pouch for the required 9V battery is included for tucking power inside the body, and that battery is rated for roughly 1000 hours of use before it needs swapping.
- Active sensor length: 3.4″
- Pickup thickness: .038″
- Pickup width: .092″
- Battery: single 9V (included compartment, battery not included)
- Battery life: approx. 1000 hours
- No-drill soundhole volume control and battery mount
For classical and nylon-string players who want stage volume without sacrificing the instrument’s natural voice, this is a straightforward, install-friendly path there.
