Sound Samples

This page is currently under construction... In the mean time, Doug Young has provided a fantastic service to all musicians by creating an enormous database of recorded sound samples of guitars and pickup systems. These samples contain virtually every type and brand of acoustic guitar pickup, and each sample was simultaneously recorded with a Neumann studio microphone as a reference point. There are also combinations of pickups and microphones, and the samples include separate fingerpicking, flatpicking, and hard strumming recordings. This informative website allows people to listen to and hear for themselves if they will be happy with a product without having to go out and buy one first. Doug is providing this service for musicians free of charge, and has already gathered a huge amount of recorded samples. Our hat's off to Doug for providing this fantastic resource for everyone. To learn more about this, or to have a listen, go to: Doug Young's Acoustic Pickup Comparisons website
