The pickup is ideally positioned to capture the the complex tone and power of these instruments.
The iP-1X INLINE Preamp simplifies installation. The 1/4" output jack can be mounted anywhere on the instument from a hole in the bout to one of the "f" holes.

Mark Knopfler chose the iP-1X INLINE pickup for his vintage and brand new 14 Fret, Style O, Nationals.













“Before installing an iP-1X INLINE in my ’36 National, I never thought I’d hear direct signal this present and realistic from a resonator guitar. Now volume and quality sound are a fact of life in any performing situation... In most cases I don’t even need an EQ, and the acoustic sound of the instrument is not compromised. A real measure of how good these things are is the number of people; techs, players and audience, who say: ‘That guitar sounds great. What kind of pickup are you using?’ More Highlanders please!”
