Fishman - Acoustic Nashville Legend

If you've ever been disappointed by the slightly 'cardboard' or 'metallic' sound of a traditional magnetic pickup on your beautiful acoustic, you've come across its biggest flaw: the copper coils - the Fluence Acoustic Nashville Legend pickup has completely rethought this principle. It replaces these coils with an electronic board and neodymium magnets. The benefit? A clean sound, without that nasal coloration, with a clarity reminiscent of a good condenser pickup placed in front of your guitar.

You're not buying a single sound, but two distinct signatures. The Nashville Legend gives you two 'Voices' programmed by renowned musicians. Voice 1 is your reference: balanced and precise, it faithfully reproduces the character of your instrument. Pressing the booster button switches to Voice 2, which brings more presence and definition to the highs, a bit like applying a subtle gloss in post-production. It's ideal for bringing out a solo live or adding sparkle to a mix.

Installation is child's play, with no need to tamper with the luthier. The pickup fits directly into the rosette (95 to 102 mm in diameter). You can fix it temporarily with the pads supplied, or opt for permanent installation. On stage, the master volume control gives you direct control, while the phenomenal 160-hour runtime on a lithium battery means you'll never need to change the battery again. An LED indicator warns you well in advance when it's time to recharge.
