DeArmond ToneBoss Soundhole Acoustic Pickup

Guild DeArmond Tone Boss Soundhole Pickup for Acoustic Guitars

Instantly Amplify Your Acoustic Guitar with Natural, Hum-Free Tone

Bring your acoustic guitar to life on stage, in the studio, or at church with the Guild DeArmond Tone Boss Soundhole Pickup. Designed for steel-string acoustic guitars, this premium passive magnetic pickup delivers a warm, natural, and articulate amplified sound without requiring batteries or permanent modifications to your instrument.

The Tone Boss features a passive humbucking design that minimizes unwanted noise while faithfully reproducing the true character of your guitar. Whether you're accompanying a worship service, performing at an open mic, recording at home, or playing live with a full band, the Tone Boss offers dependable performance with exceptional clarity and balanced output. It includes an onboard volume control, adjustable pole pieces for precise string-to-string balance, three interchangeable trim colors (black, cream, and tortoiseshell), and hardware for optional permanent endpin jack installation. 

Installation is fast and simple. The pickup securely mounts into most standard acoustic guitar soundholes using protective cork-lined clamps that won't damage your guitar's finish. If you prefer a clean, professional installation, the included endpin jack hardware makes permanent installation easy.

Unlike active pickup systems, the Tone Boss requires no batteries, making it a reliable plug-and-play solution that is always ready when inspiration strikes.
