In ever got past the neck. I plugged it in at home and it sounded good. But I didn’t experiment. I packed it back up and returned it.

What didn't you like about the neck? The narrow string spacing or the fat "D" shape?

The piezo on it's own sounds like a decent piezo. Not great or horrible.
Similar to a Baggs Element. But I can't imagiine a scenario where you would just want the piezo sound when the blended sound with the mic image is so much nicer?

For another interesting perspective check out this other video I made. It has the SRT2 vs the Element piezo vs the Anthem SL. The piezo is in the middle.
I wonder if some folks might prefer that to the other dual systems??? I don't think its horrible and with some preamp/EQ help, might sound pretty good.

Oh if I had the Yamaha I would blend for sure. I am just thinking of how the SRT2 piezo would sound on its own in another guitar. I bet I can find just the piezo for my Taylor. I have two jacks and want a K&K in one and a UST in the other that I will blend with the aura or Tonedexter. I just want a UST that's a bit fatter sounding than the ones I have tried.

The Fishman Matrix seems to be the highest regarded piezo around here.

Thanks for posting. The A3M w/SRT sounds mic'ed

SRT stands for "Studio Response Technology" which is basically IR

Nice samples Jack. Both guitars sound very good, to my ears the Yamaha sounds better.
