Crusader Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I have two acoustic guitars with Piezo under-saddle pickups, one with an LR Baggs Element and the other a Fishman Prefix-T, and the LR Baggs is much louder. I have to turn up the amp quite a bit with the Fishman I have checked that the saddle is seated properly and it could require further attention but I thought I would ask; Is it normal for Piezo UST's to vary like this?

Crusader Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 I completely forgot I have another guitar with an LR Baggs but it's not an accoustic, it's a full hollow body semi-accoustic that I made. Its a little bit louder than the Fishman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtisa Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Differences in downward pressure on the saddle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 The bridge on the Gibson was tilted due to a loose fit, so I made a new bone saddle for it and spent a bit of time making sure it is seated properly. Its hard to tell if there is improvement but the Washburn is still louder Now I was mucking around with them the other day unplugged and it seems the Washburn is much louder accoustically, so perhaps that is part of the equation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
