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.
