Default KNA pickup

I am not really convinced by the design (and the youtube videos) but I know there are Taylor ES2 fans on the AGF so I thought I'd report that discovery...

... I am sure someone will eventually try it.

If it has no impact on the non- amplified tone it might be worth checking out. Not crazy about the visual of the guitar chord running across the guitar but if it sounds GREAT I could live with it, and the price is right.

Also, it looks like you need a certain hight on the saddle for it to work.
If not totally natural sounding how well would it work with a ToneDexter.
I look forward to the AGF reviews

I totally agree. Certainly a nice option for people with vintage guitars that didn't want to install a pickup system and don't like the tone of magnetic pickups. I actually preferred the KNA tone to the expression system in the YouTube videos.
