PG contributor Tom Butwin demos the new Fishman Fluence Acoustic multivoice pickups, breaking down the nondestructive design, dual-voice control, and three distinct models built for everything from solo fingerstyle to full-band stages.
FLUENCE ACOUSTIC: ROCK ICON
All eras of rock have leveraged the driving sound of an acoustic guitar for depth and counterpoint. The Rock Icon delivers punch and clarity, with a killer second voice that sits above the mix.
Voice 1: Solos and clean picking. Dynamic and forward.
Voice 2: Vintage-inspired, riff-centric voicing. This is the acoustic tone that created legends.
FLUENCE ACOUSTIC: SPOTLIGHT
When all eyes are on you, the Spotlight is there to help you shine. Its two voices provide warmth and articulation, making it well-suited for the solo artist or small ensemble.
Voice 1: Sweet and mellow, perfect for vocal accompaniment and more intimate arrangements.
Voice 2: Articulate and clear for solos or breaks, whether picking or playing fingerstyle.
FLUENCE ACOUSTIC: NASHVILLE LEGEND
The Nashville Legend’s two voices provide you with ultimate versatility, ideal for flatpicking or fingerstyle whether performing on stages big or small.
Voice 1: Forward, clear, and articulate. A natural, well-balanced tone.
Voice 2: Up-front, percussive, round, and clear. Great for cutting through the mix.
