PickUp

PickUp is the most portable electric guitar rig ever. No need to bring an amp or case, it hosts a variety of onboard functions that eliminate the need to take anything else with you.

The guitar is plugged in to a smartphone which takes place of an amplifier and effect pedals. Download any guitar effects app and turn the volume up. The primary source of sound is from the phone speakers which are amplified acoustically due to the shape of the body cover. The cover also has wireless charging to extend the guitar’s playing time. It draws power from an internal portable charger.

The PickUp guitar has three removable protective pieces that cover the critical areas of the instrument. When in the case configuration, hold the guitar upside down and use the wooden lap rest as a carry handle. To start playing, remove the neck cover, back hole cover, and place the body cover from the front to the back of the guitar.
The smartphone is magnetically attached to a sliding phone mount allowing it to fit any phone and be positioned for optimal acoustic amplification.Acoustic amplification cross-section.Watertight and impact resistant covers protect the guitar when in the case configuration.
