The Prestige-430c is passive system for classic guitar, with four pickup heads and an endpin jack. It is well suited for both nylon and steel string classical guitars.

This system is available with an optional, discreet, thumbwheel style volume control. This can be selected by using the drop-down menu above. This is typically mounted just inside the soundhole, or under the pickguard in mandolin applications. The volume control is easily installed by use of a durable, pre-applied, 3M double stick adhesive tape. If you select this option, you will also be provided with a self-adhering cable mount to help with cable management within the instrument.

These are built using 4 very high quality 15mm piezo's. These can be used with or without a preamp with fantastic results.

It utilizes four surface mount transducers to deliver a natural reproduction of sound from your classical guitar. This results in a very wide frequency range and very natural reproduction of sound. The four-piezo configuration offers a few advantages over other piezo systems. Having four piezo’s affords you the opportunity to place them at four different points on the soundboard thus resulting in an improved dynamic range due

to the fact that they transmit the resonance found at several points.

These special surface transducers are under less pressure than under saddle pickups thus decreasing the likelihood of them transmitting a percussive or harsh sound. Each piezo is designed to pick up the resonance found in a significant amount of the soundboard. These do not "fade" or distort at high volume or with high-power systems. The highs are crystal clear while the lows are what they should be, low!

All of our products feature quality components and construction. These utilize a premium quality Switchcraft style 1/4” nickel plated end-pin jack. This system will give you a very “clean” install for those who do not want to compromise the integrity of their beloved instrument. The end-pin jack also doubles as a strap button.

The possibilities are endless! These, like all of our systems, can be installed in about an hour. They are a very

simple and inexpensive means of turning your acoustic

instruments in to acoustic electric.
