	The Archtop Guitar -Acoustic Guitar News and Forum
		An archtop guitar is a steel-stringed hollow body acoustic or electric guitar with a distinctive "arched" belly and a sound particularly suited to blues and jazz.
		Archtops are also known as jazz-boxes or hollow bodies, although not all hollow body guitars are archtops.
		Archtop guitars were immediately adopted upon their release by both jazz and country musicians and have remained particularly popular in jazz music, usually using thicker strings (higher gauged round wound and flat wound) than conventional acoustic guitars.

	Schatten Archtop Guitar Pickup
		This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp when plugged into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).
		If you require the added ability to be able to plug directly into a P.A. or mixer then you may wish to add one of our Preamp/DI units to your pickup system.
		Due to design factors inherent in P.A. mixers and boards (and these vary considerably), if you are running straight into a P.A., then a Preamp/ DI will most likely be necessary to boost line signal strength and lower the impedance so that the mixer receives a proper signal.
