NR-2 - Resonator Pickup for National-style Biscuit Bridge Guitars (Passive)
The NR-2 is the simplest way to add a pickup to a biscuit bridged resonator guitar. The sensor for the NR-2 adheres to the biscuit with 3M VHB tape. This, the basic model of the NR-2, comes supplied with an endpin jack.
Sound Clips: Clip 1 Clip 2 Clip 3
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.

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.
