ABSTRACT:
A pick-up element for a stringed instrument includes a pick-up section underneath each string. Each pick-up section includes at least three magnetic poles, with the magnetic poles being positioned in a row underneath the respective string. At least one of the poles of each pick-up section includes a first bolt which can be moved toward and away from the string. The magnetic poles derive their magnetic action from permanent magnets positioned between the poles. The permanent magnets are magnetically separated from the bolt not situated on the outside of the pick-up section. At least the bolt not situated on the outside of the pick-up section is capable of being screwed into the pick-up element at least far enough so that the top end of the bolt is located flush with the side faces of the permanent magnets which are closest to the strings.
