The ARCHTOP GUITAR PICKUP is a "passive" style ceramic pickup that can be used
without an onboard preamp. It can be plugged directly into an instrument level (minimum
1 Meg Ohm) audio input with adequate results (see Plugging In). The high quality ebony
bridge can be mounted without any physical alterations to the instrument and may be
intonated as needed.
