Vintage Pickup SystemThe Vintage Pickup System
 Pick-up the World and Tapastring Guitar Care have joined forces to create the first of it's kind Vintage Pickup System. Now you can enjoy the benefits of having a pickup system installed in your instrument without drilling or modifying anything!
The Vintage Jack replaces your existing endpin and will fit most guitars, mandolins, violins and similar instruments equipped with taper fit endpins. This jack is securely retained by the taper fit of the mating parts. No Drilling or adhesives are required.
Here at Pick-up the World, we've designed an entire line of pickups specifically for this application. These pickups are sized to be inserted through the endpin hole and come ready to install.

The I/OIntroducing the new Pick-up the World I/O Saddle Transducer
The I/O represents the latest advancements in under-saddle pickup technology, and offers what we believe to be the most natural & transparent tone available from this type of pickup. In addition to vastly improved tone & output levels, the new I/O pickups are the most robust & durable of any UST pickups we've manufactured to date, and offer excellent string to string balance without damping the natural acoustic vibrations in the bridge.

 Chuck PyleFeatured Artist...
Chuck Pyle
No one captures the feeling of the west like Chuck Pyle.
His "Zen Cowboy" imagery, rich voice, hypnotic guitar style and hilarious stage presence have made him a songwriter favorite in the folk circuit for more than 30 years. His songs have been covered by countless artists, but nobody does them as well as Chuck, and anyone who loves intelligent, melodic and magical songs will become an instant fan.
His music reflects a mystical connection to the landscape of the American West. His singing is nakedly beautiful, his guitar work flowing and complex. His style mixes folk, rock, cowboy poetry, western themes and new age humor into his own unique "Southwestern Acoustic" sound.
