Joined: June 2006 Posts: 7307 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... | ||
