The Sadducer™ is an under-saddle-transducer
for acoustic guitar that uses six discrete piezo crystals, one
for each string. The result is a high-output pickup designed
for even frequency response. It's exceptional for melody players,
especially those who play over the entire fingerboard. But perhaps
the biggest benefit is that, unlike other piezo pickups, the
Sadducer does not require a built-in or off-board preamp to
boost and smooth the signal. That means no batteries required!
We make Sadducer models for steel string and nylon string acoustic guitars. The steel string version is optimized for guitars with string spacing of 2.04" to 2.30 (51.8 to 58.4mm) at the bridge and the nylon string version is optimized for guitars with string spacing of 2.25" to 2.42" (57 to 61.5mm). |
| Feature |
Benefit |
| Uses discrete piezo crystals |
Better string to string balance. Increased responsiveness
to the guitar top's vibrations for great tone |
| High output response |
No need for expensive on-board electronics to boost signal |
| Lower output impedance than film type transducers |
No buffering preamp required, no battery required, simpler
installation |
| Thin height profile |
Allows for optimal saddle placement in bridge slot, generally
without need to modify slot |
| Thin width profile |
Accommodates both 1/8" and 3/32" saddles |
| Available in steel string and nylon string versions |
Optimized for type of guitar |
