Hi, Does anyone know which model of Fishman pickup is in these dobro's? All it says on the website is Fishman Resonator.
Thanks,
Tim

According to several websites, it's the Fishman Rare Earth pickup.

I have a 2006 Gibson Phil Leadbetter, it came with the Fishman "doughnut" passive resonator pickup.

It attaches to the cone tension screw and produces a not particularly pleasing sound in my opinion. YMMV. The Jerry Douglas Aura saddle pickup and pedal has made it essentially obsolete.
