What soundhole sizes does this pickup fit?

The SA-3XL Woody is designed for soundholes between 94mm and 100mm (3.75" to 4.0"). Measure your acoustic's soundhole before ordering to confirm compatibility.

Does it require batteries or phantom power?

No. The SA-3XL is fully passive—no batteries, phantom power, or external power source needed. Plug it directly into any standard amplifier or mixing console via the included 1/4" male connector.

How does the hum-canceling design work?

The stacked-coil hum-canceling design rejects electromagnetic interference and feedback, delivering a clean noise floor suitable for both live stage and studio recording environments.

Can I adjust the pickup's output for different string gauges or playing styles?

Yes. The individually adjustable pole pieces allow you to tune string-to-string balance, accommodating different string gauges and dynamics without creating tonal dead spots.

What's included in the box?

The pickup comes with a 14-foot low-capacitance studio-quality cable with 1/4" male connector. The pickup is available in maple, walnut, or black stained finish.
