I can confirm this. But it is not a big problem if you know what to expect.
When I plugged in my archtop w/a mag pick-up, I found the 1st, 2nd & maybe 3rd strings are louder by appx 10-20%.
Those strings are more magnetic than the lower four. You can adjust your playing style accordingly.
BTW, my archtop is bigger, deeper than the Godin. It throws off a lot more acoustic volume. The pick-up is a
Kent Armstrong mini hum bucker. I put D'Addario EXP .10's electric strings on it. Acoustic volume is still adequate
but it's much more balanced as an electric.
