Frequently Asked Questions

It's designed for standard resonator cones, but with careful adjustment of the saddle position, it *might* work with a Dobro, though the tone may be less ideal.
The maple/ebony saddle offers a tighter, more defined low-end and a smoother high-end response, reducing the characteristic 'plastic-y' sound often associated with piezo pickups.
The pickup’s design and the inclusion of the maple/ebony saddle work to soften the harshness often found in piezo systems, but a preamp with EQ is still recommended for optimal tone shaping.
