transducer and preamp really do give an excellent truly acoustic sound and
seem to be capable of
picking up the individual tone of each instrument very well .... very
clean, very acoustic." George Lowden, 2005.

The fabulous Fylde 8 String guitar fitted with Headway
HE1/G2.FEQ custom Pickup.
The Headway HE1 Series and "The
Snake" acoustic pickups are tailored to match the natural qualities of
the Acoustic Guitar or specified instrument, without needing to
alter the appearance.
They offer a clear, transparent sound that
is harmonically rich, yet delivers a low impedance output to suit
your mixer, FX unit, or combo, with minimal cable sensitivity.
Headway minimises nasties such as
feedback, circuit noise, interference, distortion, and body handling noise.
Headway was created to enable acoustic musicians to project their performances
with the ultimate in rich, natural tones and an easy, trouble-free
operation. Utilising the latest in CAD design technology, Headway?s
acoustic pickup product evolution utilised listening tests and field
trials, involving musicians, instrument builders, & sound engineers.
