By integrating nylon strings with onboard electronics, pickups, and preamp systems, classical electric guitars offer musicians a wide range of sonic possibilities for various musical genres and performance settings.
Transducer pickups are designed to capture the full spectrum of the instrument's sound, including the rich harmonics and resonance of the nylon strings.
Both piezo and transducer pickups can be used individually or in combination with each other to achieve a more balanced and natural sound reproduction of nylon strings on electric guitars.
Additionally, some manufacturers offer specialized pickup systems specifically designed for capturing the unique tonal characteristics of nylon-stringed instruments.
