Default SBTs for CF guitars - Trance or Dazzo?

I know a few folks around here have had good success with K&K stuff. But I'm wondering if anyone has had success with the Trance M series or the Dazzo stuff.

I emailed Teddy @ Dazzo and also Gryphon about this, but apparently neither will do an install unless you hand deliver the guitar. (I.e. No shipping) It also sounds like neither of them know how the Dazzo will work in a CF guitar.

And I know even less about the Trance stuff on CF guitars.

Any insight or experience?

Surely someone has installed Trance or Dazzo stuff on a CF guitar?

I'd be surprised if you get an experienced response on this. Most CF guitars have stock electronics (usually Fishman or L.R. Baggs) or none at all. The only aftermarket electronics I've heard of on any CF guitars have been K&K or maybe an Anthem. I'm interested in responses as well if you get any.

Yeah, I know. I added a LR Baggs Lyric to my no barn door Rainsong for that very reason. But I'm wondering if there are better solutions via Trance or Dazzo.

Be aware that the install and contact points can be different inside a
CF guitar with its different approach to bracing and even to the smoothness of surfaces. Talk to Ted at LA Guitars.
