La mejor pastilla sin duda, yo se la puse a un bajoquinto y le da un brillo metlico que ninguna otra pastilla se lo da
This is my first bad review on Amazon since I joined Prime. The bad review is for Amazon handling, not the product features or quality.
I ended up replacing this product three times. The first time I got an ope3n box with a damaged product. I happens. Not a big deal. I returned the product and ordered it again. The second delivery included again an open box with a used product. This time there was a thank you sticker on the box thanking me for agreeing to “give the product a second life”. The problem was that I purchased a NEW product at the price of a new product! I don’t think this is legal. So I called Amazon support and asked to return the product and get a NEW product in a sealed box as it should be. The support rep promised to add a note to the order for the Amazon warehouse. The third delivery came in an open box with no instructions and the pouch was missing. I surrendered but I am not happy. I am all for selling items in open boxes but they should sell at a lower price and the buyer should have to choice to buy them or buy a new product. What Amazon is doing here is not OK and that is why I gave 3 stars for the “Value For Money”.
Now to the product itself that is great! It produces a beautiful 3D sound that I absolutely love. Before the Fishman I used the build in pick-up. This Fishman is a complete different world. The blended microphone Adds the wooden echoing sound to the typical flat sound coming from the magnets. The range captured and amplified is also impressive with deep bases and clear highs.
The installation is simple but tricky. I bought this product and not the competition because I did not want to spend hundred of Dollars on a professional installation. For a non-professional installer like me the instructions were not sufficient. There is one sentence about fine-tuning the high and low sounds. I tried to follow this one sentence to my best understanding but did not hear any difference in the sound. The pickup plug is designed for in guitar placement and thus, does not have a none intrusive option. I had to improvise. All in all, I would recommend this product to anyone who loves the acoustic sound.

I have a couple of violins that dont have a pickup. This is an easy way to play amplified without making any modifications to the instrument. Id prefer a 1/4 inch jack, but I’m making this work.
Excellent. Installed into a favourite acoustic guitar for some upcoming shows this is a fabulous pickup system utilising a very slim pick up in the sound hole that doesn’t compromise the acoustic properties of the guitar and a microphone in the body. You can blend these together to tweak your sound. The sound quality is far superior to a Piezo system, which I personally dislike for its toppy unnatural sound. There are cheaper pickups on the market but this is really worth installing. I read someone here complaining about the volume output. That is nonsense it works great directly inputted into an amp or PA and if you want a bit more control use a floor standing preamp. Great product!
p.s. don’t ask me about fitting, I got someone else to do that!
Purchased this a while back. Installed it in a high end vintage guitar. Works perfectly with a great dynamic response. Can’t wait to get back out gigging with it again.
My Yamaha acoustic guitar (FS72OS) is certainly not top of the range, and I wanted a pick up to enrich its sound and give more volume and projection. I like physically playing the guitar, and especially like the feel of its neck, but its sound really does need augmenting – especially when playing live. The Fishman PRO-REP-103 Rare Earth Blend Pickup gave me exactly what I wanted, and a bit more. Okay, so it can’t magically make an inexpensive guitar sound like a top-notch instrument, but it certainly makes an inexpensive guitar sound absolutely fine – especially in a live performance situation.
Installed this in a OO build. It works well, and has a pleasing natural sound.
I was concerned about mounting it in a smaller bodied acoustic. Buy no worries, all is good.
I always use Fishman rare earth.They give the true sound of the wood
Klingt relative natrlich und lsst sich sehr flexibel einsetzen, einfach anzubringen.

Took 5 minutes to setup. Plays great. Wanted to play my acoustic through speaker and also right into my computer for recording. Did exactly what it was supposed to.

Bought this to use on a 60’s 12 string Framus acoustic that I repaired and refurbished. Works great and much better sound than I expected. Decided to try it on my 2015 Taylor 616CE and WOW!!!!!. Sound is superior to the mic
pickups standard on the Taylor. While their system is good, the Fishman gives a much clearer and improved
voice. WELL WORTH THE MONEY
I was blown away by the reproduction of the natural tone of my guitar the moment I plugged it in. And the fact that if I wanted to I could dial in “all humbucker” is great too, if I feel like sounding like old Dave Matthews.
Very, very happy with this purchase.

Hey banjo players! Dont waste your time with these reveiws – they’re mostly irrelevant to the banjo pickup – Bad Amazon! They are mostly for guitar or something else!
These humbucking pickups are good, but expensive, and if you shop around can be cheaper elsewhere! Make sure before you buy that the box contains a small metal foil strip, essential, for fixing to the inside of the head (the banjo head! Silly!) to pickup the heads resonance – get a banjo friendly tech or luthier or even your local banjo specialist (if you’ve got one) to fit it. The pickup can be mounted on most banjos that have an internal rod or rail (or two, is easier) if you’ve no rods inside, speak nicely to your tech!
The Fishman pickup is magnetic and only works well with metal ie steel or steel-cored string but it does make your banjo sound like a…..well…. a banjo!

The sound is wonderful. The pickup cuts out most fret noise while delivering clear, full, rich sound. If I want to hear more string noise or if I want to play some percussion on the guitar, I mix in the mic.

This pickup allows you to blend the tone from the mini-humbucker pickup with the directional condenser mic to achieve the most natural tone possible. I cannot imagine getting a more natural amplified sound of an acoustic guitar without investing significantly more time and money in pickups that require permanent modification (i.e. under-saddle pickups) to my instrument.
Beyond outstanding acoustic performance, the Fishman offers TWO distinct advantages to other pickups:
1. Non-permanent installation enables you to switch it between multiple instruments. I actually purchased additional end-pin jacks and wired a permanent pigtail with mini-xlr connectors into each of my guitars.
2. The pickup will output blended sound when a mono plug is inserted into the endpin jack, but when a TRS (stereo) plug is inserted, it outputs discrete signals from each pickup to separate channels!
I put this in my Martin OMC-16. This is the closest amplified replication of the true sound of my guitar I have ever had! It’s a great pickup that sounds so much better than the under-saddle that was removed. No feedback now! Great product for the price!!!

Facil de instalar – Ya sea que la quieras permanente o temporal no tendras problema puedes hacerlo tu mismo.
No suena metalico – Al menos para mi yo estaba en busqueda de una pastilla que pudiera replicar ese bello sonido de una guitarra acustica sin sonar metalico y molesto para los oidos de todos. Y esto es gracias al microfono integrado que le ayuda a tomar el cuerpo de la guitarra, por lo cual mientras tu guitarra sea de mejor calidad, mejor va a sonar.
Regulador de sonido – tiene una perilla que al girar (izquierda, centro, derecha) puedes decidir si quieres solo sonido de la pastilla o solo microfono o 50/50.
La vdd 50/50 es la mejor opcin incluso hace un clic cuando ya estas a la mitad.
Ademas cuenta con un interruptor para si quieres Mas o Menos bajos del microfono. (esta opcion la vas a notar cuando grabes en tu DAW y sera de mucha ayuda)
El sonido al grabar es muy limpio – A menos que le grites directamente a la guitarra el microfono no captara el sonido del ambiente.
No feedback – Eso sin duda es lo que mas aprecio de esta pastilla, no tiene ese molesto ruido por acercarte mucho o esa estatica que te hace sentir tan chafa no estan presentes, esto no suena hasta que tocas, fin!
Contras :
No le doy las 5 estrellas por estas razones.
1.- Usa pilas de tamagochi (osease no imposibles de conseguir pero molesto de buscar) una simple pila AAA habria sido suficiente y genial pues compras recargables y listo.
2.- Creo que $3000 pesos es un precio mas considerado y justo.
3.- El boquete que le tienes que hacer para instalacin permanente es inmenso, si tuviera la guitarra martin que quiero ni de chiste se lo hara. No se nota para nada ya terminada la instalacin pero si duele el proceso pues en tu mente piensas “facil pudieron hacerlo mas pequeo”

A great fit for my OM solid spruce/rosewood guitar. Quality pick-up producing a great authentic acoustic guitar sound. One of a few elite pick ups that do a superb job.

I like it so much I bought a second one to replace an older pickup in another banjo. Pick on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soooo glad I decided on this pickup. Was super easy to install and it just sounds gorgeous!
Doesn’t sound as good as expected .Needs to be wired stereo so the Mic and magnetic pickup can use separate eq .

I’ve always just played acoustic instruments, but I’ve got a performance coming up and need to be able to amplify my banjo. I asked a professional banjo playing friend for his advice and he recommended this Fishman banjo pickup. I was hoping to be able to install it myself, but when they say they recommend professional installation, they’re not kidding – it was beyond the scope of my knowledge and the tools I have, so I had it done at a local shop. Anyway, it sounds great.
Had to purchase this pickup because my Ovation’s pickup developed problems and I needed a quick fix. It works so well, I’m not sure if I will get the original Ovation pickup fixed.
sounds great on my little Taylor GS Mini … has a thinner sound because of the size of the guitar so if you use warmer strings and heavier it warms the tone
I’m really happy with the sound of this via a Fishman preamp, but not straight. The only difficulty was fitting the bridge which took a long time.
I’ve been a two pickup guy for a long time. This sounds great. I’ve got it on two of my guitars (a 6 and a 12).
I’ve been looking for an Acoustic Guitar pick up for live use for a very long long time. I’ve tried K&K, LR Baggs dual source, lyric, m1 active… and this is the closest to a Mic’d guitar sound with without feedback. Here’s the pick up in action (youtu.be/MhM7zNuSerk)
