New Shatten HFN install
Just installed a Shatten HFN-C in my steel string Bourgeois DB-DS and boy does it sound great. Very balanced. Clear as can be. No boomy bass or screeching highs. No feedback either. Just clear, rich tone. The install was easy as can be and took about 30 minutes. I used the tape that comes with it and it seems to be holding fine. And there is a good amount of body resonance and tapping response from the face. Overall I am very pleased with this pickup from Shatten and would install another one if needed. The difference between the HFN-C and the HFN is that the pickup has four feet on the C whereas it has three feet on the one designed for steel strings. The C stands for classical. But after talking with Shatten, they assured me that the C passive version is just as good or better than the one they sell for steel string guitars. I made the mistake in ordering but am glad I did now.

That is interesting for sure. At least it sounds the same as the normal HFN.

I mistakenly ordered a C and sent it back. Maybe I should have tried it.

It was my mistake to order the C version and not by design. I got it and called Shatten himself. He said it ought to be just fine so I installed it. I think it sounds better than any other pickup I have used and thats most of them. Of course I eq it a little and it can handle adding some highs or lows just fine.
