Acoustic Amplification
For over 25 years, the Fishman name has been synonymous with technical innovation in acoustic amplification. Fishman
pickups and preamps, toneshaping products and amplifiers are the essential tools acoustic musicians, performers and
sound technicians rely on to accurately amplify the natural tones of acoustic instruments.
From the largest arena to your own living room, wherever you hear an acoustic guitar, you can bet you’ll hear a Fishman.
Fishman users are passionate about their brand of choice, for one simple reason: we put the needs of the acoustic
musician first.
We at Fishman are grateful for our longstanding relationships with an extended family of players, technicians, repair
professionals, and instrument manufacturers. We like to think that the loyalty from our “family” is a result of our loyalty
toward them, as evidenced by our innovative, reliable products, over-the-top customer support, and unwavering goal of
amplified acoustic excellence. In fact, every artist who chooses Fishman does so without incentives other than a desire
for the best possible sound.

About Jerry Douglas:
Called "dobro's matchless contemporary master," by The New York Times and
lauded as "my favorite musician" by no less than rock legend John Fogerty, Jerry
Douglas could have been a musical innovator on any number of instruments. However, as a teenager, Douglas adopted the relatively obscure and unexplored Dobro,
and that decision has helped him carve out a unique place in American music.
By discovering the capabilities of this expressive instrument during a period of
intense creativity in acoustic music generally, Douglas has wielded incalculable
influence on bluegrass and its many related genres.
His transcendent technique and his passionate musicality have helped him net
twelve Grammy Awards and numerous International Bluegrass Music Association
awards. Douglas holds the distinction of being named Musician of the Year by The
Country Music Association (2002, 2005, 2007), The Academy of Country Music (ten
times), and The Americana Music Association (2002, 2003). In June 2004, the National
Endowment for The Arts honored Douglas with a National Heritage Fellowship,
recognizing his artistic excellence and contribution to the nation’s traditional arts.
