NR-2 Neo - Resonator Pickup with Neo Jack Assembly for National-style Biscuit Bridge Guitars

     The NR-2 Neo combines the outstanding NR-2 sensor with our new Neo-Jack to provide great sound and a revolutionary new 1/4" output jack to give you what is probably the easiest and tidiest installation possible. The sensor for the NR-2 adheres to the biscuit with 3M VHB tape and the Neo-Jack mounts just behind the tailpiece using the existing strap button and screw.

Technical

     The NR-2 sensor is small and light in weight. At only 1/8" high, 1/4" wide and 1 1/2"" in length, it does not affect the acoustic sound of the instrument. It is normally attached with 3M VHB mounting tape to the top of the biscuit.

     The Neo-Jack installs quickly and simply to the back side of the tailpiece and uses the original strap button and screw. The lead wire from the NR-2 sensor is simply brought out of the cover plate to the jack as shown in this photo

     The Neo-Jack is designed to fit virtually all normal resonator guitar tailpieces without modification to the instrument.

Amplification

     This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.) As with any pickup, the sound can be further enhanced with an outboard preamp. If you require the ability to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add our Mini Pre belt clipable preamp.
