Anyone have experience with this pickup in a cavaquinho? Or any recommendations of another pickup for a cavaquinho?

What the heck is a cavaquinho ? Guess I'm still too much a hillbilly, cause I never heard of one of these. I don't think we ever had one of these around the house. Sorry, can't help you. I have 2 Fishman Matrix's in my 2 Blueridge guitars & I love them.

I have used fishman pick-ups for years. I recently bought a Matrix and i love it. Darrell G. Brooks

Hi Garret,While I don't have the expertise to address how it would work in your specialty instrument (as guitar-ish as it may seem), I really like my Fishman. I do wish, however, I had purchased Fishman's dual/hybrid (pickup and mic) version instead. I miss some of the highs and tones I get from the strings which I believe the added microphone would have captured.Best wishes!

I have a ssl-5 at the bridge. It rocks! I have fender noiseless in the middle and neck position. Your best bet is to call seymour Duncan , they are very helpful with every question I have ever asked them. That is one of the main reasons I keep dealing with there products. Plus the are top of the line in my opinion, I have seymour Duncan pickups in all three of my strats.

It is kind of difficult to suggest without knowing what style of music he likes (rock, metal, blues, country, etc.). It's a fact that the Squire woods are not the best, however they are so noble that nearly any pickup might sound sufficiently well. Seymour-Duncan, DiMarzio, Fender, EMG, Rose pickups, etc., but if he doesn't want to spend too much, tell him to check the ALNICO Pickups (http://www.guitarfetish.com/). They have a great variety like Pre-Wired Pickguards. A nine (9) D'addario or Ernie Ball gauge strings, would be fine. Cheers!.

Well... that is a tricky question to answer because the amp (or a modeler if you use one) also affects the tone a great deal as does the way you play and the guitar. I'd say that they are a decent representation but you have to consider that the pickup itself is only part of the tone you are hearing on their website. I like the SD sound samples because they don't use a lot of effects (i.e., unlike Dimarzio) but if you can I suggest checking youtube for a more diverse sampling of what the pickup can achieve.

Have it in a 2013 chevy crewcab silverado under the back seat fits perfect. Have it powered by a kicker cx600.1 amp with a bass knob so you can control the bass sounds awesome for two little eights. You will be surprise how much bass comes from it.

The one I received HAS a pickup. I had to remove the cover and place the mute buttons. It was not difficult. I am very pleased with mine.

It mounts inside the Guitar under the bridge and is one of the best sounding pickups available. You will have to drill out your end pin to accommodate the connector for the amp cord,or they have available a smaller adapter if you feel the need to pay for it.

Depending on the type of pick-up installed it could affect it, or not at all. If it's a microphone type It will definitely change the character a little. If it's a contact type pickup, you may or may not notice much of a change to it. It definitely is nice for acoustically miking because it makes the cajon sound more controlled and deeper. (For my tastes of course) Just a disclaimer, I've not been too fond of pickup cajons because they tend to sound like a dull thud and I think it's better to just put 1-2 sm57's on the cajon and get a natural sound.

About five inches. The pickup may not work on all guitars. Check the fish man web site for more info. AB

I have a Yamaha Acoustic with pickup and it works great on the acoustic mode. I have tried it on the Bass mode and it seems to give it a more mellow, deeper tone. I'm assuming an upright acoustic or mariachi-style bass with pickups would sound OK. Plus, you can use all the other effects and really find some interesting tones. Take your bass to a nearby music dealer and try it.

Loosen the strings enough to get my hand in far enough to reach the battery pouch. Kind of a pain, but worth the bother. It is a really nice pickup. Hope this helps.

Depends....I have a Breedlove which uses the jld truss rod... The hole had to be drilled in a small space...I took it to a local luthier and he only charged $40 for the install.....amazing sound though....wouldn't recommend any other pickup besides this one....2 years and tons of compliments...

I carry mine in both of my pickups-ones small GMC Sonoma and the other a 6' bed F250' due to the wheel wells I tilt the boat on one side so it is angled into the bed. Works great.

I got this amp a few months ago. I am using a classical nylon with built in pickup. I do get some feedback when it at about 1/4 volume if I get close to the amp so I ended up purchasing a soundhole cover to keep the amp noise from being picked up by the guitar pickup and it solved the problem. As you are using an external pickup that is not really an option for you. I'd try to just not face my pickup towards the amp
