Pickup systems
Me again, with another question. This time regarding pickup systems used in Martins Retro series and the Yamaha FGX5.
Has anybody compared the Fishman Aura+ with the Atmosfeel used in the Yamaha? I have been offered a used Martin D-18 E Retro at a solid price and would like to know about your opinion. Of course there are countless videos out there but i´d like to know about your experience in handling, maintenance and sound of both systems, of course.

Other than that, make the decision based on the quality of the guitar and your finances.

Hello martingitdave,
thanks for your insights. The serial of the said D-18 is dated from 2014 and the guitar shows 3 knobs (well, 2 knobs and a tuner) on the photos. So i suppose it´s the first generation of the Aura system, the Aura+. Do you probably refer to the Aura Blend system in the Modern Deluxes when you talk about the latest generation of the pickup system? |

I haven't used the new system, but I suspect that would be a second favorite? I was not a fan of the Aura/Enhance systems.

The Aura blend is fabulous but has less control than the F1+. My only concern with the older system would be getting spare parts down the line... For the price I see the Retro guitars selling for I would opt for the Modern Deluxe Aura Blend instead.
