The best choice for achieving a rich, natural guitar sound -- even without a preamp!

For years our customers have told us that K&K's Pure Mini is the absolute best passive pickup on the market. As a passive pickup it is the perfect plug-and-play solution for the musician who wants a warm, full-range signal without worrying about cluttering up their instrument, adjusting onboard electronics, or having to remember to change the battery.

K&K have adapted the original Pure Pickup for 12 string guitars, designing the Pure 12 string with larger transducers. The larger pickup heads produce an extra strong bass response and pronounced midrange that sounds great in 12-string guitars and is a good alternative for guitars with heavy spruce tops and maple bridge plates. 

The pickup's position on the bridge plate provides the perfect balance of sound, picking up all the strings without sounding harsh or percussive and "listening" to the sound board to amplify the unique characteristics of your guitar. The result is a warm, full-range signal that represents the true character of your guitar.

For players who want more control over their signal or need to achieve high gain before feedback, we recommend pairing a Pure pickup with the Pure Preamp (SKU# 54302) or the Pure XLR Preamp (SKU# 54300)

For the original Pure Pickup for 6-string guitars please see SKU# 54105. For all Nylon string guitars there is the 4-head transducer Pure Classic (SKU# 54103).
