Default Undersaddle pickup widths, Important?

Gday folks, It looks as though I am going to be the recipient of a generously given Fishman AG narrow format pickup from one of my fellow Larrivee Forum mates, my question is, will it work in my Martin OM-21 given that the Martin is supposed to have a wide format pickup? If not I'll just install it into my Larrivee OM-03R.


Cheers, Scott.

Saddle width is important when dealing with Fishman pickups that come in wide and narrow versions. Martin guitars take the narrow 3/32 pickup.

Here's a link from the Shoreline Music website that lists different guitar makers and their saddle widths: http://www.shorelinemusic.com/faq/saddlewidths.shtml

Thanks for that mate, I didnt realise the Martin saddle was narrow. The OM-21 is still on its way!


Cheers, Scott.
