If you purchased your guitar after June 22 2022. New laws were passed in Australia around the use of coin cell batteries. We chose to move away from coin cell batteries to ensure we met the new safety requirements.
Please look inside your guitar towards the neck block. On the left hand side if you see;
- a small black battery box your guitar is fitted with a battery pack that holds 4 AAA batteries.
- If you see a black soft case your guitar is fitted with a 9V battery.
You will need to loosen your strings to access the battery pack.
What guitar strings do Fenech Guitars use? Does the gauge matter, or should I use whatever feels best to me?

- Our Stage Auditorium is fitted with 13-56 Medium, Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings (XSAPB1356)

All our guitars
All our guitars pre 2024 came with a Fenech Branded – Double A1G Acoustic Guitar Pickup System
The A1G is designed specifically for the size, shape and sound of acoustic guitars. The Soundhole controlled Preamp is designed for sonic clarity, simple installation and preservation of your instrument. The A1G is a single channel flexible Piezo pickup and the system features a Soundhole mounted preamp with rotary controls for Bass and Treble. The A1G is an active system and delivers a high output and wide dynamic range.
- USA made Piezo under saddle pickup
- Active system
(2 x CR2032 batteries included pre June 2022 or 9V battery pack)
It was important to us that we chose a pickup that was non-intrusive and didn’t modify the sound of our guitars when the are not being used. We focus on making the best sounding guitars, the pickup is included free thoughout our entire acoustic range.
The beauty of our pickup is that it can easily be removed, by a guitar tech of your choice, and replaced without any damage to your new Fenech. We do not install different pickups at the factory.
If you are ordering one of our Master Built guitars, you can request not to have one installed.
