Not sure I can add too much to what I already wrote. J-45s are not the loudest guitars as you probably know. Volume has improved modestly, but the biggest change is in the sustain. J-45s typically have short sustain, but after the work, the guitar sustains much better all over the neck... close to a 50% improvement, and I attribute that primarily to having full contact between the saddle and the bridge, not having that Baggs Element wire sandwiched between them anymore. I'm sure the slotted bridge, ramped G, B, and high e string slots to improve break angle, and solid pins also contribute to the improved sustain.
The bass response is also more refined...rounder, more bloom, slightly deeper tonality, and less thumpy than before. Much better!
The K&K is great -- very natural sounding. I didn't mind the Baggs Element either.
