Thanks Doug! I have always been a huge fan of the Takamine palathetic and I am pretty sure Maton and Cole Clark use the same type of technology. I think the main difference is that both companies also add in a mic or SBT to add an even more natural tone. I know that the pickup element itself does degrade the acoustic tone a bit which is why Maton, Cole Clark and Takamine tend to be more known as "stage" guitars. However, their pickups are just incredible live and are the only systems that I know of that sound amazing with even aggressive strumming.
