I recently had the obsessive experience of swapping out the Baggs Element UST in my Crafter because it wasn't working as well with ToneDexter as some of my other guitars were working with ToneDexter. Upon considering to sell the guitar, I replaced the Element UST and decided to once again try it with ToneDexter (since I'd purchased a Slate ML-2 training mic in the meantime). This time around the Element-equipped Crafter is sounding great with ToneDexter. I'd be crazy to sell it for anywhere close to the bargain price which I paid for it. It amplifies superbly, and I'm also enjoying the considerable tweakability and convenience of its Baggs Element "barn door" system.

being more electric sounding. until i tried the baggs m80 and the sunrise. Like mentioned above., you set up your stuf at home and tweak your undersaddle or sbt until you say "ahhh!! this is sweet" then you get to a gig and your stressed because it just doesnt sound the same, With the mag you dont experience this. The difference in tone is negligable or repairable quickly. not so with sbt. Unless you use a mic its all about compromise. for me that little bit of mag tone (and its very slight with the baggs) is worth the lack of aggravation i get at a gig with sbt pups.

This is exactly the kind of experience that’s worth understanding. If you’re playing in a loud bar, the mag tone is barely noticeable and the benefits may outweigh any concerns. If you are a folk player like me, playing at modest volume, it may be much more noticeable. However, one of our club members achieves an excellent folk tone with her sound hole mag pickup. I’m intentionally trying not to prejudice the thread with my own preferences.
