FishmanPowerbridge Pickup for Les Paul
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bridge-mounted pickup made to fit Les Paul-style single cutaways. For players who want a second, non-magnetic voice from an electric.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a separate bridge-pickup voice to a Les Paul
- Players switching sounds mid-set without changing guitars
- Owners committed to modifying a single-cutaway electric
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players unwilling to have their guitar drilled or rewired
- Anyone with a non-Les-Paul bridge layout or post spacing
- Beginners — the pickup costs more than many first guitars
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Bridge-mounted pickup
It reads string energy at the bridge rather than under the strings, so it hears the guitar differently than your magnetics do.
Detail 03
Replaces a structural part
Your intonation and string height reset when it goes in. Expect a full setup afterward, not a drop-in swap.
Detail 04
$269.95
Pickup only. Real cost includes install labor and any wiring, switching, or output work the guitar needs.
Detail 05
Fishman
Their bread and butter is amplifying acoustic and non-magnetic sources, which is the job this part is doing on an electric.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Budget for a tech install unless you solder and set up guitars yourself
- 02Confirm your bridge post spacing and stud diameter match before ordering
- 03Decide up front how you'll blend or switch this against your magnetic pickups
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my guitar?
It's built around Les Paul-style single-cutaway bridges. Measure your post spacing and compare before buying; other bodies and bridge types often won't line up.
02Can I install it myself?
Only if you're comfortable with bridge swaps, wiring, and a full setup afterward. Otherwise pay a tech — it replaces a structural part.
03Will it change my regular pickup sounds?
The magnetic pickups keep working. What changes is that you now have an additional bridge-sourced signal to blend or switch to.
04Do I need a setup after installing?
Yes. Swapping the bridge moves your intonation and action, so plan on a setup as part of the install.
