A pickup device for use in a stringed instrument (e.g., an electric guitar) is constituted using a prescribed number of saddles that are installed in a bridge attached onto the body surface at a prescribed position and are arranged to adjoin together with prescribed distances therebetween in conformity with strings respectively. Each saddle comprises a base member and a string receiving member that are engaged with each other, thus controlling the height for supporting a string thereon. A piezoelectric element is included in the string receiving member to convert string vibrations into electric signals. The height is adjusted upon rotation of the string receiving member or the base member. Due to independent arrangements of piezoelectric elements inside of the saddles, it is possible to effectively reduce effects of interference between sounds of strings.
