Hmmmmm... got me thinking... How difficult would it be to pull an undersaddle pickup and replace it with something like the K&K Pure Mini in a guitar with a built-in preamp (say, like my Seagull S6 )...? Would it just be a matter of clipping the UST lead and then connecting the Mini to the leads going to the preamp?

If you do remove it, please keep us posted on the results.

You should be able to notice a significant difference after taking it out. That’s due to the saddle height being lower once the UST is taken out.

There was no residue when I took mine out; it was actually the opposite as it kep falling out, so I used some more double sided tape
