Capture both the sound of your strings and the natural body resonance of your acoustic guitar.
The SKYSONIC T-902 is an active acoustic guitar soundhole pickup designed for players who want a fuller, more expressive amplified sound without permanently modifying their instrument. Its dual pickup system combines a magnetic pickup with a built-in microphone, allowing you to capture both string vibration and the natural acoustic response of the guitar body.
The magnetic pickup captures the sound of the guitar strings, while the microphone adds body resonance and is especially useful for capturing percussive sounds when tapping or playing the guitar body. Separate volume controls let you balance the magnetic and microphone signals to create your preferred amplified tone.
Designed for folk and steel-string acoustic guitars with soundholes measuring approximately 88–105mm, the T-902 offers a convenient solution for live performances, recording, acoustic looping and amplified acoustic guitar playing.

Dual Pickup System for a More Natural Acoustic Sound
The T-902 combines two different types of pickup technology in one unit.
The magnetic pickup detects the vibration of your guitar strings, providing the core amplified guitar signal. The built-in microphone captures additional acoustic resonance from the guitar body, helping produce a fuller and more natural sound.
By adjusting the two pickup levels independently, you can blend the direct string sound with the acoustic body response to suit your playing style.
Great for Guitar Tapping and Percussive Playing
If you use your acoustic guitar as a percussion instrument, the T-902 is particularly useful.
The microphone is designed to capture sounds from the guitar body, allowing techniques such as tapping, knocking and percussive rhythms to become part of your amplified performance.
This makes the T-902 a useful choice for fingerstyle guitarists, acoustic performers, loopers and players who incorporate body percussion into their music.
Easy Soundhole Installation
The T-902 is designed to fit inside the soundhole of compatible acoustic guitars without requiring permanent modifications to the instrument.
It is suitable for guitars with soundholes measuring approximately 88–105mm.
Before purchasing, measure your guitar’s soundhole to make sure the pickup will fit.
Separate Pickup Controls
The independent controls for the magnetic pickup and microphone allow you to adjust the balance between direct string sound and acoustic body resonance.
Use more magnetic pickup for a focused, direct guitar tone, or increase the microphone level to add more body character and percussive response.
