Randon Guitar Pickup, Piezo Pickup, Contact Microphone (Black)

My wife bought me a guitar for Christmas, but she thought it was acoustic/electric but it wasn't. She was so sad but I loved the guitar and that she went and did that for me. So I told her not to worry that there were ways to make it electric. So i started looking here found various pickups! So many different ranges in prices. Since i had never tried a pickup before i decided lets go cheap just in case. TO MY SURPRISE THIS LITTLE GUY IS AWESOME!!! To top it off when ordered you get two!!! These little pickups are awesome no battery needed so don't have to worry about charging or changing batteries out. The pickup sticks perfectly to the guitar no damage or anything to the guitar but that sucker is stuck on there! So easy to install took me 1 minute! Functions great doesn't pick up unnecessary sounds just what i play on the guitar. Yeah i have a wire across the body of the guitar but my guitar is black so kind of disappears so looks great. Highly recommend and i know you will be just as satisfied as i am.

Can't beat the price. No feedback trouble. It's a little tinny on my Uke, but with a generic 7 band Eq pedal it sounds totally fine.

I have a small travel Johnson guitar. Placing this pickup on the front got a weak tinny sound through the amp. But I noticed when I touched it, the sound signal was louder, fuller, much more bass, pretty decent. Maybe a grounding thing, I assume? Anyway it occurred to me to put it on the back, since the guitar rests against my chest / stomach, and in that way it gets the benefit of the grounding's sound boost (even through my shirt). Noise from contact with the pickup is minimal when seated, not moving around. This way is much better than trying to somehow continuously touch it with my picking/strumming hand while playing. (Given the low price, and my intentions with the device, this work-around works for me. I am not sure there are any as reasonable options for this guitar given its construction). For me now, if I travel and want to go to an open mic and can't borrow a guitar, this will work and sound decent, as long as keep it pressed up against me, which I do anyway when playing.

Just sticking on the body of your acoustic guitar only gives you about half of its potential volume. The pickup needs to be firmly pressed to the body. I was able to rig it up so it works good. I think I'll get a different one for the guitar and put this one on my mandolin. It's worth the 10 bucks.

WOW, for 10 bucks what a nice pickup.... Everything worked exactly as pictured.... No drilling, gluing, adjusting.... The input installs nicely on my strap button with enough room for the strap. Piezo pickup does not squeal as much as I expected.... A little 12 dollar eq makes it easy to adjust and smooth out BUT definitely not needed.... Great deal for recommending to friends.

This stick on mic works very well for my Ibanez acoustic dreadnaught. It brings out sounds I never hear otherwise, very nice. UPDATE: It is 2026, and I just ordered a pair of these. The first one I bought in 2021 had a crackling noise from a loose connection in the wire, but these live a hard life and I'm not worried about it. For me, this is a very cost effective way to use an amp for an acoustic guitar. And is easy to remove.

This pickup was exactly what I wanted for my mandolin. We have been recording tracks and I needed to give the instrument some "punch". It was too quiet in comparison with the other instruments. This was the ticket. It is, what it is, though. Do not expect more than it can do. If you are looking for a reasonable condenser mic, which can be simply attached and will not damage your instrument. Then this is what you are after. It is simply a microphone, round in shape, which you attach to the body of the guitar, or whatever, and it picks up and amplifies that sound. All sound. Voices, whatever. As long as you are aware of its limitations and uses you're good to go.

From the photo the thing looks like junk, but what the heck, for $11 it was worth a try. But sure enough, it's totally useless junk. The adhesive doesn't hold it tight enough to the instrument. If you press on it really hard with your fingers it produces sound, but you can't really play with only one hand. Makes me wonder about the positive reviews. They all must be phony. The whole thing must be a scam. But why do they bother for an $11 item? Oh well, live and learn. Will spend the money to have a real luthier install a real pickup.

Works great , the trick is to find the sweet spot on your instrument for the best tone and resonance .
