The Fishman Powerbridge VT is a direct drop-in replacement for Vintage Telecaster and similar guitars with T-Style mounting, and provides a natural acoustic sound from your Stratocaster-style guitar.
Note! The Powerbridge AST (American Standard Telecaster) and VT (Vintage Telecaster) models are very similar, please check the specifications to make sure you select the correct model for your guitar. If you have questions, please call.
The Fishman Powerbridge Piezo Bridge Pickup is built into a high quality, made-in-the-USA replacement bridge for Stratocaster and Telecaster style guitars. Piezo elements integrated into each bridge saddle respond directly to the acoustic energy of your electric guitar - providing an "acoustic" sound quality.
The included stereo jack outputs the piezo and magnetic signals on separate channels and requires a stereo instrument cable (not included). You can also use a switch (not included) to toggle between the Powerbridge and your magnetic pickups for a standard mono output if you prefer. Wiring instructions are included for both configurations.
On its own, the Powerbridge piezo pickup provides a subtle and intimate "acoustic" sound. Using a stereo output to your dual channel amp, mixer or PA system, you can blend the Powerbridge Pickup with your existing magnetic pickups to get a hybrid "acoustic/electric" sound. Use with clean magnetic sounds for bright, percussive tones - or with your favorite distortion settings for a range of hybrid clean and dirty tones.
Note: With the optional Fishman Powerchip preamp/mixer (available separately) you can blend the piezo and magnetic sounds directly on your guitar without the need for a stereo cable and external mixing. The Fishman Powerchip will blend the piezo and magnetic signals into a combined mono output.
