The B-Band R series UST (Under Saddle Transducer) is an excellent pickup choice for acoustic steel or nylon string guitars. B-Band's unique Emfit film material delivers clean acoustic tone and relates the individual characteristics of the instrument as well. The R series UST pickup utilizes a ribbed structure for durability and the pickup is physically ultra thin and flexible making for easy installs usually without modifications to the saddle or saddle slot. The ribbed construction also enhances string balance for quicker installations. The B-Band UST pickups are thin and lightweight and as a result they do not interfere with the string’s signals passing through the saddle and bridge, helping to retain the original acoustic sound and voice of the instrument. The UST includes a socket-type connector for an easy and quick plug-in fitting to a B-Band preamp, without any soldering.
