Now the guitar lost all its low end... Hope is just the pickup and not a lose brace.

The guitar sounds acoustically like a V-braced Taylor or E10om... super bright.
Cuki, your latest samples are as good as most direct-recorded samples out there and would sound really good over a PA speaker. I have no doubt that with your determination and ongoing research and development on this and future systems that you will no doubt develop a marketable pickup system if you ever should choose to go commercial! Thanks and I look forward to your continuous experimentation and hope there isn't any damage to your guitar.
