Fishman AG1-125 UNDERSADDLE PICKUP WIDE

An AG Series Transducer Designed for Acoustic Guitars, Simple and Effective

The Fishman AG1-125 belongs to the AG Series, a family of under-saddle pickups known for its "plug-and-play" approach in lutherie: a thin transducer placed under the saddle that respects the instrument's aesthetics while providing a usable and coherent signal for both stage and home recording. Its wide 3.2 mm format meets the needs of guitars whose saddle configuration requires this width, while maintaining a clean integration.

For Which Guitarist and Use?

This passive piezo transducer is aimed at 6-string acoustic guitarists who want to amplify their instrument with a discreet system, without an external microphone in front of the soundhole. It is suitable for both chord accompaniment and fingerpicking, thanks to a direct reproduction of the attack. Like any passive pickup, it reveals its full potential when paired with a high-impedance input or a suitable preamp, to preserve dynamics and tonal balance.

How the "Under-Saddle" Format Affects the Sound

Installed under the saddle, the AG1-125 captures vibrations as close as possible to the string-bridge contact point: you get a fast response, good separation between strings, and very clear projection in a mix. The choice of width (3.2 mm) is essential for even support under the saddle: a good fit improves volume balance string-to-string and response consistency. Also make sure to check compatibility with your guitar's string spacing (up to 54 mm) for optimal capture.
