Description
Seymour Duncan SA-3XL Adjustable Woody, Walnut Pickup
The SA-3XL Adjustable Woody is a refined soundhole pickup built for acoustic players who need transparent amplification on stage without coloration. Its adjustable pole pieces let you dial in the sweet spot for your instrument's individual voice, while the warm walnut wood housing sits invisibly in any acoustic's soundhole.
Design & Construction
Built from walnut stained wood with a compact profile that fits standard soundholes spanning 3.75″ to 4.0″ (94mm to 100mm), this pickup stays out of sight and out of mind. The dual-coil design employs fully shielded construction and is dual potted in wax then epoxy, keeping feedback at zero and ensuring this pickup survives repeated gigging and road travel without degradation.
Tone & Performance
The hum-canceling stack configuration operates silently with your acoustic's natural character preserved through straightforward magnetic design. Paired with the included heavy-duty 14-foot studio quality cable featuring a hand-soldered 1/4″ plug and low capacitance, your signal stays clean and transparent from instrument to amp, mixer, or PA.

Will this pickup fit my acoustic guitar?
