Fender's Cypress acoustic pickup was designed by pickup guru Tim Shaw to deliver a fresh sound to your amplified acoustic tone. It is designed with a patented ceramic magnet and features a field diffuser function, which softens the magnetic field around the treble strings, delivering a beautifully rich top end and truly balanced output across the strings. This guitar microphone was designed specifically for use with brass strings, but sounds great with any style of brass strings. Sweetwater guitarists have tried the Cypress pickup and fallen in love with the tone it offers.
