I have a pure classic in one guitar and a fantastix in another. Giving serious thought to transfering the fantastix to my CA.

I put K&K (or JJB) in almost all my CF builds. Many are nylon, so a piezo is a necessity. Even on a steel string I find they work well in connection with a floating mag pickup.
That said, the K&K turns your guitar's top into a giant microphone. Touches, bumps, and even talking gets picked up. Be sure to install with a volume knob so you can cut it out when you aren't playing. |

K&K in my RS concert parlor....sounds fantastic.
Have K&K in my 000EC and just installed one in my wife's uke.....pretty easy. also had Fishman and LR bags. K&K sounds better to my ear and doesn't require batteries.

Nice to see my old thread brought back from the dead! As an update to my situation, I ended up selling that X20 for a couple reasons - didn't like the color (blue), didn't like the neck shape or scale (long), and didn't like the B-Band pickup system.
Owned a couple CF guitars since there - the little Journey OF660, which I still own and a Rainsong Shorty APLE that was really a great sounding/playing/feeling guitar with it's OM-ish size body and short scale. Ended up selling that one only because once again I was not enamored of the neck shape or the electrics. I have since ordered an Emerald X20 Custom which is due in a few months. I figured that I'd really liked the X20 if I could change all the things I didn't like on the first one so why not go custom, right? Plus, they got me with those awesome woody tops! So I asked for a short scale, custom neck shape to mimic my Santa Cruz V neck (we did a mold) and as for electrics, of course I went with K&K although I did struggle with the decision! But why mess with what I know and love? I've had the K&K in almost every guitar that I've really loved and I'm very much used to dealing with the minor challenges of that system. In the end I opted for simplicity and a tone I know well. Needless to say, I'm chomping at the bit to get it in! There will of course be a NGD when it arrives. |
