SOUND FAMILIAR?
Trapped by the Cutout?
The Struggle: You are stuck with a giant factory hole in your vintage instrument. Switching usually means messy woodwork or ugly cover plates.
The Fix: The PreSonic is the only system engineered to drop directly into your existing footprint with zero surgery. Turn that liability into an asset.
Sterile "Piezo Quack"?
The Struggle: Your guitar is made of premium wood, but your 90s pickup sounds like plastic. That compressed “rubber band” tone masks the true voice of your instrument.
The Fix: We replaced the single strip with six individual sensors. This captures the dynamic motion of the bridge, delivering woody, breathable tone with zero “quack.”
Unusable "Feedback" Mic?
The Struggle: You keep your internal mic turned off because it howls the moment you turn it up. It provides “mud” instead of “air.”
✅ The Fix: Our differential preamp design cancels feedback frequencies before they start, letting you finally blend in studio-quality ambience on stage.
Imbalanced String Volume?
The Struggle: A booming B-string or disappearing High-E that you can’t fix without sanding the saddle.
The Fix: Six independent sensors give you individual volume control for every string. Balance your output perfectly to match your playing style.
Fear of Signal Failure?
The Struggle: The anxiety of scratchy sliders and “sudden death” signal loss in the middle of a gig.
The Fix: Premium sealed faders and robust battery contacts designed for the road. No more “working the sliders” to get a signal.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Trapped by the Cutout?
The "Barn Door" Dead End
You are stuck with a giant factory hole in your vintage instrument. Switching to a different modern system usually means messy woodwork, ugly cover plates, or leaving a "dead" plastic box in the side of your guitar.
The "Perfect Fit" Upgrade
Turn that liability into your greatest asset. The PreSonic is the only professional system engineered to drop directly into your existing Fishman footprint with zero surgery, instantly modernizing your guitar without devaluing it.
Sterile "Piezo Quack"?
Plastic Masking Your Wood
Your guitar is made of premium wood, but your 90s pickup sounds like plastic. That compressed, "rubber band" tone masks the true voice of your instrument and forces you to EQ the life out of your sound just to make it usable.
Authentic Acoustic Voice
We replaced the single undersaddle strip with our proprietary Saddle-Pickup. This captures the dynamic motion of the bridge—not just pressure—delivering the woody, breathable tone of your guitar with zero "quack."
Fighting Feedback?
The Volume vs. Tone Trade-off
You constantly have to kill your internal mic and notch out your low-end just to stop the howling. You end up playing with a thin, "safe" sound because you can't trust your system to remain stable at concert volume.
Studio Depth at Live Volume
Our sophisticated preamp design cancels feedback loops before they start. This stability allows you to finally blend in the onboard microphone for rich, airy depth without the squeal — even in big venues.
Imbalanced String Volume?
The "Hot String" Struggle
You know the frustration: a booming B-string that overpowers the mix or a high-E that disappears completely. Traditional pickups rely on perfect physical pressure, meaning one uneven spot in your saddle slot ruins your balance forever—and there is no knob to fix it.
Precision String Balance
Stop fighting your saddle. Because our system uses six independent sensors, you get individual volume adjustments for every single string. You can finally tame that hot B-string and perfectly calibrate your output to match your playing style yourself.
Aging, Oxidized Hardware
Anxiety & Unreliable Tech
There is nothing worse than the fear of "sudden death" signal failure on stage. Scratchy, oxidized sliders and fragile battery latches turn your professional instrument into a reliability liability that you are afraid to trust at a gig.
Total Stage Control
Quit "working the sliders" to get a signal. Gain precise, silent command over your Volume, EQ, and Mic Blend with tactile faders designed for the modern touring musician.
Hear the Difference: The Professional Verdict
“After many years of searching, this is the first system that truly delivers: my guitar sounds like my guitar, with zero feedback and stunning clarity and dynamics.”
Walter Rodriguez
