Seymour Duncan SA-6 Mag Mic Active Acoustic Guitar Pickup

The Seymour Duncan SA-6 Mag Mic Active Acoustic Guitar Pickup is a combination of a magnetic pickup and an omnidirectional condenser mic.

This allows the guitar's tone to have a natural sounding resonance while providing clarity via the magnetic pickups.

You can blend between the two to achieve natural, percussive or feedback-reducing tonalities.

Pros

A few users noted how easy it was to dial in the sound they have in mind with the blend control. Mostly glowing remarks for the natural tone.

Cons

Some users had to take extra time dialing in the blend of the magnetic pickup and condenser to avoid feedback.

Overall

Seymour Duncan is usually a name you'd associate with electric guitar pickups. They hit a home run with the SA-6 Mag Mic. If your tonal preference requires you to precisely blend a mic and magnetic pickup tone, the SA-6 Mag Mic is perfect for you.
