The iBeam Onboard-Sm is a direct drop-in retrofit system for the smaller “Brand X” onboard pickup system that is often factory-installed on
Martin, Taylor and many other popular guitars. New (non-retrofit) installations can be made simply by routing the appropriately-sized hole in the
guitar’s side to accommodate the preamp and onboard controls. This system includes the iBeam bridge plate transducer and an onboard preamp
with volume, EQ and notch filter controls.
