Seymour DuncanWoody XL Adjustable Pole Pieces Soundhole Pickup
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A soundhole pickup for acoustic guitars, with adjustable poles. For players who want to plug in without drilling or cutting the instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Amplifying an acoustic at open mics without permanent modification
- Balancing string-to-string output on an uneven-sounding acoustic
- Moving one pickup between several acoustics
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a built-in preamp and onboard tone controls
- Nylon-string guitars, which have non-magnetic strings
- Anyone after a piccup-free, fully acoustic amplified sound
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
Soundhole mount
Clamps into the soundhole. No drilling, no endpin jack modification, no cutting into the top.
Detail 03
Magnetic pickup
Reads steel strings only, and captures string vibration rather than body resonance, so it sounds tighter than a mic.
Detail 04
Removable design
Comes out in seconds, so one unit can cover several guitars or come off for purely acoustic playing.

Know before you order

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I have to drill my guitar?
No. It mounts in the soundhole and comes out again. Nothing is cut, drilled or permanently altered.
02Will it work on a classical guitar?
No. It's a magnetic pickup, so it only reads steel strings. Nylon strings produce no signal.
03Do I need a preamp?
It will drive a standard amp or DI input directly. A preamp is optional and used to shape tone or match levels.
04What do the adjustable poles do?
They let you set each string's volume individually, which helps if your low E overpowers the high strings, or vice versa.
