Leveraging the unitary design that made their Violin Pickup a staple for thousands of performing musicians, L.R. Baggs has molded their same miniature vibration sensor directly into a 5/8 in. banjo bridge. As an integral part of the bridge, the pickup captures inherent characteristics of the instrument fluently at the source without altering any acoustic properties. It comes with a fully custom jack and mounting system engineered to be reliable, easy to install and aesthetically compatible with the finest instruments.

    Very good product. What I liked most was its easy installation procedure: I did not need to make perforations, neither alterate the banjo structure. It looks very discreetly. And works fantastic: the banjo sound is crisp and even getting quality improved when you connect it to the amp.

    Is this pick up made for five string banjo's only Or  can it also be used for six string banjos???   And what is the height of the Bridge saddle?  so we can compare that to the height of the one on our instrument...     How would we adjust the height of your bridge if we need to?   I suppose we would take it down from its top material....

    It's "made" for a 5 string. I don't know how it would work for a 6 string. The saddle is 5/8". The bridge is not adjustable other than the ability to filec it.
