Seymour Duncan Woody SC Acoustic Soundhole Pickup - Maple (Single Coil) | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Seymour Duncan Woody SC (SA-3SC) is a passive magnetic soundhole pickup designed to bring your acoustic guitar's natural voice to any amp, PA, or console with clarity and character. Its single-coil design delivers a bright, chimey tone with top-end brilliance that suits both energetic strumming and delicate fingerstyle playing equally well. Best of all, it mounts instantly into your soundhole with zero modification to your guitar — and comes out just as easily when you no longer need it.
Product Overview
The Woody SC is built around a passive magnetic pickup element housed in a custom maple enclosure that complements the aesthetic of most steel-string acoustics. The single-coil format preserves the natural chime and high-frequency detail that acoustic players expect, making it a strong choice for players who want amplified tone that stays true to their instrument's unplugged character.
Double-potting keeps the Woody SC resistant to feedback — a critical feature for live performance situations where stage volume and monitor levels can quickly become a problem for acoustic pickups. The maple housing is one of three finish options available, alongside walnut and black stained, so players can choose the look that best suits their guitar.
Installation is completely tool-free and non-permanent. The pickup fits all standard soundholes measuring 3.75" (94mm) to 4.0" (100mm) and mounts in seconds without drilling, adhesive, or any alteration to the instrument. A 14-foot low-capacitance studio-quality cable is included, plugging directly into your amp, PA, direct box, or mixing console right out of the box. Idaho Falls acoustic guitarists can find the Woody SC at No Limit Guitar Co alongside the full Seymour Duncan acoustic pickup lineup.

- Acoustic guitarists who need a quick, non-permanent amplification solution for live performance or recording

Note: The Woody SC is a magnetic pickup and requires steel strings. It will not function with nylon-stringed instruments.
Key Features
Single-Coil Acoustic Tone
The single-coil format gives the Woody SC a brighter, more detailed tonal character than humbucking soundhole pickups, preserving the natural chime and high-frequency sparkle of a steel-string acoustic. It handles fingerpicking articulation and strummed chord clarity with equal poise.
Tool-Free, Non-Permanent Installation
The Woody SC clips into any standard soundhole between 3.75" and 4.0" in diameter with no tools, no adhesive, and no modification to the guitar whatsoever. It can be installed or removed in moments, making it ideal for players who don't want a permanent pickup installation.
Double-Potted for Feedback Resistance
The pickup is double-potted to minimize the feedback susceptibility that can plague acoustic instruments at performance volume levels. This makes the Woody SC a practical choice for live use alongside an amp or PA system.
Custom Maple Housing
The natural maple housing gives the Woody SC a clean, acoustic-appropriate aesthetic that sits discreetly in the soundhole without drawing attention. The same pickup is also available in walnut and black stained finishes to suit different guitar aesthetics.
14-Foot Studio-Quality Cable Included
A 14-foot low-capacitance cable ships with the pickup, ready to connect directly to an amp, PA, DI box, or mixing console without any additional adapters or accessories needed.
