Do the fishman pickups in this guitar need to be charged and if so is the charger addition already installed in the guitar?

    GREAT question. They're active so definitely going to need a charge but the pic above shows just a standard 9v battery type cover. My LTD SN1000W fluence (and all others I've seen) have a USB port to charge up. This doesn't appear to be the case here. Interested in ESP's response.

      Hi Larry, Your SN-1000W was one of the few LTD models we used the USB rechargeable battery on. Now we use standard 9V for Fluence, same as EMG or any other active guitar.

        Hi Gerald, These pickups run off a regular 9V battery. We do use the Fishman rechargeable battery on some of our higher priced instruments. But it is not necessary to have that battery for Fishmans to function properly.
