Pick-up help.

Hello Fretboard friends, long shot but I’m hoping to pick the collective brain. I have recently got an old Om-21 from Glenn’s guitars (Great shop btw). It came with a fitted pickup but he forgot to ask what it was and I have no clue. It sounds great but I’d love to know what it is. All I can see is a plain jack, red and black wiring, piezo and a battery clip (no control panel). Long shot I know but if anyone has any ideas. It looks similar to the Fishman gold 1 found in Om-Js I think though no branding round the barrel just a generic jack.

Can you take a pic of the PCB inside the barrel jack casing? If there’s nothing on the outside that’s likely to be the only conclusive means of identifying it.

OM-21s are great, I had one which I still think is the best non-dreadnought guitar I’ve played - I just couldn’t get on with the neck width and string spacing.

I finally remembered to take some photos of my pickup which showed absolutely nothing. But maybe someone will recognise something I don’t. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBcR6x

The pickup looks like something cheap, although it's hard to be sure. Can you take the preamp out? There may be more clues on the casing or the PCB inside.

Cheap does not necessarily mean bad - if anything, I think the more expensive and sophisticated systems don't really achieve anything that can't be done better with a basic internal pickup and external processing.

Looks very similar to one I have in mine - which is a fishman matrix - I think!

I’ve been suspecting a fishman. Tbh I’d rather not remove it it’s seated really tight and I don’t want to stress it unnecessarily, I’ve fitted plenty of these and I like having skin on my arms to much.
