old barcus berry magnet pickups

[Walters9515]

Which model barcus berry magnet pickup should i get for my acoustic guitar they were used in the 60's and 70's which ones did they use back then please??

 

I don't like acoustic pickup or piezos at all

Barcus berrys sound pretty bad. Look into something like K&K

i like the ones with the round black magnet looking and u just stick it on your guitars its really easy and simple with a cord on it

That is a piezo, one of the first. Not very good sound. Had one on my d28 back in the 70s. They are around, but there are new similar pickups that will sound better.

 

Here's one.

Really hated my Barcus Berry Bar!!

 

My favorite mag soundhole pup is an inexpensive seymour duncan maverick performer. Nice warm acoustic sound.

 

Here's a tune using it.
