CF guitars & SBTs
I've had my Rainsong since 2001, removed the Fishman electronics
& after a brief dalliance with a Baggs I Beam, installed K&K pure minis. The passive system in this guitar is LOUD! Has anyone else noticed this w/SBT installs in CF guitars?

No. In fact, I normally warn the guy running the soundboard that my Rainsong has a K&K and he will need to turn up the gain quite a bit.

Nice! The sound, the playing, and the singing! I especially enjoyed the harmony at the end.
What did you do with the "barndoor," if your Fishman had that, when you removed the original pickup? |

Note on the harmonies: I can sing pretty well with myself, but Randy Rood's use of Autotune the way it's supposed to be used really made 'em! I sold the Fishman package many years ago; somebody got a great deal on that.

i wasn't asking about the Fishman, but the hole where it used to be - an upward facing soundhole?

I installed a Schatten HFN passive SBT in my Emerald X30 and the output is clearer, cleaner, crisper and louder than my Anthem equipped Gibson acoustic. I absolutely love it!

I have a Schatten in a wooden parlor guitar, but I've been curious what one would sound like in one of my Rainsongs. Alas, I haven't performed the experiment (yet).

They have a newer version now. I emailed them a month or so ago regarding the rosewood base on the pickup, and they told me they're now using a 3D printed ABS base. I was worried the rosewood wouldn't last in a carbon fiber guitar, being left out all the time and all. Glad I emailed them as it helped me discover this awesome pickup. Much better for me than the Anthem system it replaced.

I did a video for some guys in another thread comparing the Anthem SL in a Gibson to the Schatten HFN (Passive) in my Emerald X30. I'll link it here in case you want to check it out:

Yep, K&K just installed in Emerald X20 has strong output. I like it.
