Frequently Asked Questions
Fingerstyle will likely yield the best results; aggressive strumming can cause the pickup to shift due to the string-tension mounting.
The pickup's small size might slightly reduce bass response on larger-bodied guitars, but it should still function adequately.
Absolutely, the passive signal can be boosted with a preamp; just be mindful of noise levels as passive pickups can be more susceptible to hum.
