I just installed a pickup into an acoustic... my low E and B have much lower volume than the other strings!! I need HELP!!! PLEASE

@EBB47 maybe the piezo is not well centered

@26kanzen you must make sure your saddle is absolutely flat at the bottom where it comes into contact with the piezo transdcer strip it maybe that the contact is poor at that particular string if its not totally flat also make sure the strings when tuned arnt pulling the saddle making it lean forward agin there would be a poor contact

Hi, Jamie Boss,

Do you need the Matrix Red Piezo? It's hard to find everywhere,

I get some recently, do you need it?

If you need, just contact me.

Regards,

Elmo

any tips on how to screw the inside nut onto the jack?

[BeatleUniversity]

I'm going to buy a Martin D28 or higher. Should I have a fishman pick up installed or use a pick up that goes in the whole?

[insidethe222]

@BeatleUniversity I NEVER HAD GOOD LUCK WITH THOSE EQ PICKUPS TOO MANY PROBLEMS I USE HOLE PICKUPS BY DEAN MARKLEY THAT WORK VERY VERY WELL

[TheLeerain]

@BeatleUniversity depends what sound you want the soundhole pickups tend to sound more electric than acoustic, undersaddle sound fairly acoustic and mic is very acoustic but if playing big gig you need more grunt ie undersaddle pickup with preamp etc
