These are selected clips from my 45 minute DVD explaining how to install under the saddle guitar pick-ups. There is a section on theory with animations and two other sections showing how to install the popular Fishman pick-up and L.R. Baggs pick-up.

@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

@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

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
