Review: Great sounding pickup - I have been isto guitars since mid 80's tried a lot of stuff.Last summer while on vacation bought used Alhambra 2C and love the sound so thought to upgrade it with a simple pickup. This one is just perfect for what it is. It's very neutral sounding but with of lot of details. Love the sound. Highly recomend. Much better than simple under saddle piezzos this one give you more volume and character. Already installed one so this one went easy. Placed the discs not totaly under the saddle position but slightly in the bridge . The sound is ouncy but also a mellow and well balanced.Great job Journey amplification!
