Location: South of most, North of few | Just got a B Band A 1.2-22R pickup and installed it in the little Mermer, and am really impressed. The undersadle transducer is thin enough so you don't have to sand the saddle and it really sounds nice. Has a small volume control that glues in the sound hole too. I was looking at the pure western (k&k) but wanted to have a volume control on the guitar so thought I'd try one of these. Just ordered another one for the Martin... |

B Band
I wanted something that was light in weight but active (powered). They make a slew of different systems, but this is the under saddle film transducer. |

I've read some good reports on these. Will they fit a 2 5/8" saddle length? |

Location: South of most, North of few | The only excuse I have is that I couldn't play before the operation, so what makes you think I can now...? (and don't forget Gary, I'm drivin' and you might need a ride home) :D :p |

Good Luck! |
