ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic pickup for a stringed musical instrument has a plurality of magnet and coil signal generating units each associated with a respective one of the strings, and the housing which contains the signal generating units also contains an associated plurality of adjustable potentiometers whereby the contribution of each generating unit to a composite output signal may be varied. A fixed resistance connected to each potentiometer prevents each generating unit from being turned entirely off, and another fixed resistance in the main output line assures an acceptable input impedance to a tone control and amplifier, or other utilization circuit, to which the pickup is connected.
