The heart of the system is the pickup itself.

The patented design of the Martin Thinline Goldplus Acoustic Pickup System solved the age-old problems of string balance, string spacing and wire-hole placement, making it applicable to all guitars. Martin uses a highly sensitive copolymer specifically formulated for guitars for the Thinline's pickup material. The short distance from the undersaddle pickup to its internally mounted preamp maintains the information-loaded signal's integrity. The preamp is designed for guitars that are amplified at high volumes, especially full-size guitars. The Martin Thinline Pickup is voiced to control boominess and to provide extra brightness. Recommended for musicians in situations where the guitar needs to stand out and sound natural without feeding back. The circuitry on the Martin Thinline Goldplus Pickup's preamp allows a battery life of 12,000 hours.

I bought this pickup for my Epiphone Dove. All I can say about the product is SUPER, SUPER, SUPER. The instructions suggest letting a professional to install it but if you can drill a hole you can install it without any problems. The sound is great with the exception of it is a little too treble for my taste. But turning down the treble and up on the bass on the amp just a little corrected this problem. The main reason I wanted this pickup was to be able to plug straight into my Korg D888 Recorder so I could record the guitar without having to mike it. The same problem with being too treble for my taste is there but is also correctable with the treble and bass buttons on the recorder. For super sound and easy installation you can't go wrong with the Martin Thinline Pickup!

I bought this pickup not knowing what I was getting into, I'm barely learning to do guitar work for myself. Not one for reading installation instructions, I had a little trouble with installation, but once installed and plugged in, it sounded beautiful! Bright, clean, nice lows, balanced mids, very professional sounding. I have a cheap Epiphone that I put this thing on, the sound is unmatched.

What else can you say about a product that works exactly as advertised! I installed in a Washburn dreadnought - it fit perfect and the sound could not be more balanced or clear - plenty of output. Download the manual and check the bridge recommendations. If the bridge slot is large enough and you have a decent amount of angle on the strings from bridge to pin hole then this is the pickup to buy! I am placing another order today to go in a Blueridge.

I had this installed in an Alvarez Jumbo Acoustic about 8yrs ago. I was going to get the cheaper version & the tech wouldn't sell it to me! Made me save for this one and I'm glad he did. Can't really say it sounds good...because it doesn't change a thing to my tone. Just does what it's supposed to and lets me plug in. Great product.

I have had this pickup installed in my Epiphone PR350 acoustic now for over 10 years. It works perfectly. The sound is rich and full. The installation was simple and I love the fact that the guitar still looks un-touched. Unless you peer in the soundhole to see the battery, you would have no idea the pickup was there. The battery life is amazing as well. I just had to replace the original battery last month (after more than 10 years of use!!) Great product Martin! I am planning on installing one in my new 12 string acoustic and in a friend's 1975 Yamaha acoustic.
