Jones Hatfield Banjo Pickup!

Available again! Jack Hatfield has redesigned the famous Gerald Jones Acoustic Plus banjo pickup which has been out of production for several years. Improvements include:

More powerful signal - 10% more windings and stronger magnet.

Improved shielded coil-to-jack cable, re-routed out the back of the pickup so it clears the co-ordinater rods.

Plastic non-conducting enclosure replaces metal enclosure - less interference with electromagnetic field.

Spacer on mounting bracket to more accurately center pickup under head.

Enclosed 3.5mm jack replaces open back 1/4" jack - avoids possible electrical shorts if pick get dropped through flange hole or jack gets bumped while resonater is off. Smaller 3.5mm jack will not interfere with resonater.

Jack mountng bracket - jack no longer mounts directly in the flange hole. Bracket made from insulating plastic to avoid ground hum. Can now be mounted on Stelling Banjos for the first time.

Includes both 24" cable to connect to belt mounted preamp and six foot cable to connect directly to amp or PA.

Lifetime Guarantee! We will replace at no charge if originally purchased from Hatfield Music.
