Exceeded expectations

The clarity of the high end is fantastic without being harsh. Installation took about 15 minutes. It transformed my old guitar into a stage-ready instrument.

Perfect upgrade for my dreadnought

The installation was straightforward, and the 5-band EQ gives me incredible control over my tone. The tuner is surprisingly accurate and locks on quickly even in noisy environments.

Great sound, minor fit issue

The audio quality is crisp and clear. I had to sand down the mounting bracket slightly to fit my specific guitar model, but once installed, it works flawlessly.

Best value pickup system

I've tried several systems in this price range, and the TEQ-5 beats them all. The mid-range controls are especially useful for cutting through a mix during band practice.

Solid performance

Very happy with the purchase. The battery life seems decent, and the controls are easy to adjust mid-song. Would recommend for gigging musicians on a budget.

Tuner is a game changer

Having the built-in 12-tone tuner saves so much space on my pedalboard. The pickup itself captures the natural warmth of my acoustic guitar without sounding too synthetic.

5 FAQ

Q: Does the package include the connecting cable?

A: The package includes the pickup unit, a 9V battery, mounting hardware, and a short internal connector cable. However, a standard instrument cable to connect the guitar to your amplifier is sold separately.

Q: Is the tuner visible in low light conditions?

A: Yes, the tuner features a bright LED indicator that clearly shows whether you are sharp, flat, or in tune, making it easy to use on dimly lit stages.

Q: What happens if the battery dies during a performance?

A: If the battery runs out, the active EQ and tuner will stop functioning. However, most passive magnetic elements in this design will still produce a dry, unamplified signal, though volume will be significantly reduced. We always recommend carrying a spare 9V battery.

Q: Does this pickup require drilling into the guitar body?

A: No, the TEQ-5 is designed as a drop-in soundhole pickup. It mounts securely using adjustable brackets that grip the inside of the soundhole, requiring no permanent modification or drilling.

Q: Can I use this with nylon string classical guitars?

A: This pickup is optimized for steel-string acoustic-electric guitars. While it might physically fit some classical guitars, the magnetic response to nylon strings is minimal, so it is not recommended for classical instruments.
