KNA Pickups SG-2 Steel String Acoustic Guitar Passive Piezo Pickup with Volume Control | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The KNA SG-2 is a passive, bridge-mounted piezo pickup designed specifically for steel-string acoustic guitars — a clean, elegant amplification solution that requires zero modifications to the instrument and installs in minutes. The piezo element is encased in real maple for superior tonal transfer and transient detail, and the SG-2 slides securely between the saddle and bridge pins, held firmly in place by the tension of the tuned strings. An onboard volume control gives players direct level adjustment from the guitar itself, and two cables are included — a 9-foot 1/8" to 1/4" cable and a 3-foot 1/8" to female 1/4" jumper — for flexible connection to any amplifier, DI box, preamp, or PA system. For steel-string acoustic guitarists who want natural, responsive amplified tone without permanently altering their instrument, the KNA SG-2 is an ideal solution.
Product Overview
The SG-2's maple enclosure is the material choice that defines its tonal advantage over plastic or metal-housed piezo pickups. Real maple is a tonally responsive wood with the density and resonance characteristics needed to transfer vibrations from the guitar's bridge and saddle to the piezo element with accuracy and detail. The result is a natural, articulate acoustic signal with the transient clarity and tonal richness that reflects the instrument's actual character — rather than the filtered, compressed sound that less resonant housing materials can produce. The passive design requires no battery and no external preamp, delivering the raw acoustic signal directly from the piezo element to the output cable without active processing or coloration.
Installation is straightforward and completely reversible. With the strings loosened slightly, the SG-2 slides into position between the saddle and bridge pins — where it is held securely by the tension of the retuned strings with no adhesive, no tools, and no permanent changes to the bridge, saddle, or body of the instrument. This makes the SG-2 equally well-suited to players who are protective of valuable acoustic guitars, musicians who need a temporary amplification solution for specific performance contexts, and players who want the ability to transfer the pickup between multiple instruments without additional installation work.
The onboard volume control allows direct output level adjustment from the guitar itself — a practical feature for on-stage level management between songs or in response to changes in the mix without reaching for external controls. Two cables are included: a 9-foot 1/8" to 1/4" cable for connecting directly to an amplifier, DI box, or PA system, and a 3-foot 1/8" to female 1/4" jumper with safety clip for connecting to an existing instrument cable — providing complete, ready-to-use connectivity for multiple setup configurations right out of the package.

Key Features
Real Maple Housing for Superior Tonal Transfer The piezo element is encased in real maple — a tonally responsive wood that transfers vibrations from the guitar's bridge and saddle to the pickup element with accuracy and transient detail, producing a more natural, articulate acoustic signal than plastic or metal housing alternatives.
Zero-Modification Bridge Pin Installation The SG-2 slides between the saddle and bridge pins and is held securely in place by string tension — requiring no drilling, no routing, no adhesive, and no permanent changes to the instrument. Installs and removes in minutes.
Onboard Volume Control A volume control mounted on the pickup body gives players direct, immediate output level adjustment from the guitar — a practical performance feature for on-stage level management without reaching for external controls.
Passive Design — No Battery Required The SG-2's passive piezo circuit delivers clean, natural acoustic signal without a battery or preamp — zero electronics maintenance and no battery replacement required.
Two Cables Included for Flexible Connectivity A 9-foot 1/8" to 1/4" cable and a 3-foot 1/8" to female 1/4" jumper with safety clip are both included — providing complete, flexible connection options for different amplifier, DI box, preamp, and PA system setups right out of the package.
