"Legacy Guitars" are those builders I've sold in the past but no longer keep in stock. I'm keeping them in place on the site because I still love the guitars and hope you will, too. Read more here.

Sunrise SB1
Sunrise Pickups are handbuilt by Jim Kaufman in limited numbers, but this allows the finest attention to detail and craftsmanship. Each pickup has individually adjustable pole pieces to give you maximum control over string balance and tone. They also come with a transferable lifetime guarantee—no doubt because of their remarkably sturdy construction and high-quality internal components. Jim also builds preamp/buffer boxes to accompany the pickups. We strongly recommend using these even if you already have some sort of outboard preamp you're using.
The SB1 is specifically tuned to match the output of Sunrise pickups, so we strongly recommend this if you're thinking about buying an S1 or S2. It's a true black box, with only ins and outs and no controls of any kind, but it gets the job done perfectly.
I love the sound it projects.Best guitar preamp.Thumbs up!
Thanks for the stellar service, and helpful advice--competitive pricing too. The preamp is a perfect match for the S-1 pickup, and really adds body to the sound of my J-45.
Thank you - the preamp was the lowest price anywhere - and your service was excellent - I had the pickup but the preamp really made it sound its best - Thanks again
Not using a Sunrise pick up with this but the SB-1 works beautifully with
my Fishman blackstack . It not only gives me a 12db boost, but also
smooths out the midrange. Very pleased with it.
