I had similar issues with the Rare Earth Blend pickup. My Taylor Custom GS7 with lighter bracing suffered with the pickup in, so I removed it. (It is a very responsive and loud guitar with Cedar top and Rosewood back and sides.) I haven't tried it in any of my other guitars, but would expect the difference to not be as dramatic as it was with the GS7 with a Cedar top and CV bracing.
