Taylor GS Mini Pickup Installation Review

[AlanSturgess]

Like a previous commenter who has also commented elsewhere (xDet3rmin4tionx), I've read lots of reviews which really don't rate the pickup as being much good. Excessive noise and possible distortion seem to be common complaints - so IS it worth the hefty price, especially as the V-cable is INCREDIBLY expensive for what it is if you wanted that as well? But it's the pickup that concerns me - is it better to look for a different type and brand?

How do you attach a strap with the new input in?

Good video, I must say it would have been nice had you plugged it in and showed us the sound.

@tacostequilabeer Well . . . redeem yourself!!! Hahaha, what does it sound like :)?

@xDet3rmin4tionx

jazzy, archtop kind of sound. while it worked fine into the amp, there was a line buzz when plugged directly into the recorder that i didn't have time to address due to deadline. i've heard of others having this problem.

i'd research other systems for a more conventional "plugged in" acoustic sounds, if that's what you're looking for.

hope that helps.

@tacostequilabeer I live in the UK and I shouldn't think I would have that grounding problem that I have heard others mentioning. It's a real 50 50 people are very divided on it. I think I will give it a go. Thanks for your time and for writing to me. Really appreciate that. All the best.

@tacostequilabeer I will do, I have just received a message saying it won't be in stock until the end of this week / early next week and then they will ship it to me. So will be a while yet, I will try remember to come back and write. Thanks again.
