Dazzo Wood Pickup
The Dazzo website mentions and has a pic of some wood pickups.

I haven't contacted Dazzo yet, just trying to do some due diligence. Have any of you tried the Dazzo Woodies? |
Call Teddy Randazzo. He is friends with the Emerald guys and knows the guitars.

Here's a sound sample of my wood Dazzos, along with an internal mic, powered and blended by the Sunnaudio MS-2. |
Btw what is the material of the non exotic wood ones?
Is it still wood? Or some kind of plastic like the HFN and Amulet? |

How are the Dazzos different than the Trance Amulets, or are they pretty similar? I know they come in different sizes for different bass response, but it seems he recommends one size for most guitars.
My Gibson Southern Jumbo came with Trance Amulets in it. I had never heard of them. I bought the guitar for its acoustic tone. I didn't even plug it in at the shop, thinking I would just replace whatever was in there if I didn't like it. I was in for a pleasant surprise when I got home and plugged it in. |
double posted somehow.

So Trance, Dazzo, FRAP, K&K, Schatten, etc, are all "similar" in that they're Sound Board Transducers, but at the same time, each one has a different internal design and sound somewhat different. Teddy's are rather unique in that he has lots of models with varying bass response, so he can to some extent tune the pickup to the guitar. |

This summer, Teddy installed Dazzos made from Cherry wood in my Martin D-18 Modern Deluxe with the Carbon Fiber bridge plate. He seemed to think that the wood pickups help with the carbon fiber instruments. Well, out of all of my installs on my various instruments, this one is the best sounding. I don't know if it was a result of Teddy's install or of the cherry wood pickups. All I know is that it just sounds amazing.

I don't think any of my six Dazzo equipped guitars have the same pickup. Three are dreads. My Guild D 35, the most balanced of the dreads, got 70s. I think my 65 Texan got a 70 on the treble side and a 60 on the bass. My Martin D 35 got 50s, the very first 50s set he used. Acoustically, it doesn't sound that bassy, but with the pickups it did. It is the beauty of the concept of a frequency response to match the guitar. In the one size fits all pickups is where you need the four band EQ pre amps to compensate.

You are correct. My parlors have 100s and 90s in them to hype the bass frequencies. They would be bass deficient with 70s. Higher number has more bass, lower less. I saw an Emerald harp guitar Teddy put a custom forty under the bass strings.
