Takamine G Series CP-100 Pickup Assembly with SHIM SET / TGP0897

Takamine CP100 STEEL String pickup system / OEM

CP100 / TGP0897 Bridge Pickup with Integrated Compensated Saddle

This auction is for ONE (1) new CP100 unit

(Other items shown are for reference only and are not included in this sale.)

This OEM Integrated system is designed exclusively for Takamine G Series instruments.

Most likely if you are viewing this ad you need to replace your current pickup.

The CP-100 will work on just about any Takamine G series Guitar with a 3” straight saddle.

This pickup is NOT correct for a NYLON String or BASS guitar. 

How to tell if your guitar can use this pickup:

Verify that your current preamp accepts a 2.5mm male plug in the INPUT jack.

(NOTE: ALL Takamine Preamps use either the G Series 2.5mm input or the Pro Series RCA style input.)

Verify the length of your guitars saddle slot.

The CP100 is 3” in length

(A folded dollar bill is about 3” in length)

Verify the width of your guitars saddle slot.

The CP100 is 3mm wide

(a new American Quarter and Dime coin measure about 3mm when stacked

one on top of the other – Could these two stacked coins slide into and fit snugly inside the saddle slot? DO NOT Force.)

SIDE NOTE: If you have a guitar with an Original Floyd Rose Locking Vibrato system you can use the 3mm Allen Wrench you use to tighten the locking nut with to check the saddle slot width...

Specifications:

Saddle / Pickup element 3mm (3/32nd)wide

75.94mm length (3”)

10mm (13/32nds) tall at highest point between D & G string

15" cable lead

2.5mm male connector

Right handed guitars

6 or 12 String guitars

The innovative Takamine CP-100 pickup arrangement utilizes a U-shaped aluminum rail securing the pickup and saddle securely together for a snug fit inside the instruments saddle slot.

This configuration produces an articulate, well balanced string response when using a plectrum or playing finger style.

The pickup arrangement captures vibration not only from the string pressure but the energy produced from the soundboard resonance as well!

The CP-100 pickup is NOT a conventional under the saddle piezo pickup!

The CP100 will work with Nylon, Bronze and Nickel strings.

The CP100 was designed exclusively for Takamine “G” Series Instruments.

The integrated saddle is compensated so intonation is maintained up and down the fretboard.

IMPORTANT:

If you desire to lower your string action by adjusting the height of the saddle remove material from the TOP of the saddle not the BOTTOM.

If you modify the BOTTOM as you would a conventional saddle it will destroy the seating integration of the saddle and its interaction with the pickup element rendering it useless electronically.

If you have ruined your pickup in this manner please contact me before you purchase this pickup, I may have a more economical solution for you!

Sometimes in this fast paced electronics driven world we lose touch with the “humanity” that is represented by all of the internet listings, fax and e-mail numbers.

I am a real person; I am not just a number.

I welcome your questions and speaking with you personally.

Tested 100%

The item you are purchasing is inspected and tested before they are shipped to make absolutely sure everything is working 100%

Time is taken to check new product when it arrives from Takamine; electronic components pass through another more thorough audio and electronics test before being packaged and shipped.

The vintage preamps and used components sold by AddictedToToneInc pass through this same testing process.

Non electronic parts like Tuners, Nuts, Saddles are carefully inspected and tested; any part that requires assembly is assembled.

Many sellers do not possess a working knowledge of the Takamine equipment they are selling and simply send merchandise without examining the item being sold.

As a guitarist, artist and former touring musician I understand how important this equipment is to the individual purchasing it; most of my customers are casual players but for some of my clients the part being purchased is needed for work and making a livelihood - an extended downtime can make for some potentially hungry days!

My endeavors are not approached as a mere "numbers game" or how many boxes of product I can move, for me it is much more personal, most of my clients work very hard for their money; I appreciate and respect the fact they have chosen me to do business with.

Takamine does a fabulous job with their electronics and there are very few incidents of manufacturer defect; very, very few incidents but it does happen.

It is much easier for me to check the product for the customer before it is sent rather than wasting time discovering a defective part after it has shipped; this is how I have always operated; it takes more of a commitment but my clients appreciate it – they know they can trust me to do the job right!

Maybe I am just "old school" but this is the way I feel it should be done.

I have designed, created and employ special testing equipment for the Takamine preamps and electronic components because it is your reputation as well as mine at stake when you walk on stage!

AddictedToToneInc hosts a special Facebook page that specializes in the science and use of the Takamine technology exclusively for our Takamine clients.

Thank you,

William “Bill” Sutherland   / AddictedToToneInc / Mr. Takamine USA
