I'm all for better polepiece action, and they look pretty neat... although they wouldn't be amiss in an Anix guitar

That clip on the site is weird. It sounds like some sort of an electro-acoustic. I guess its a different tone if you're into your electric sounding that pristine or whatever.

Yeah, I thought the same thing, it's definately got a piezo ring to it. Would really like to hear it distorted.. if they're not crazyass prices, I might even put one in a geetar.jcyphe wrote:That clip on the site is weird. It sounds like some sort of an electro-acoustic.

edit: bout $120 for a single, $150 for a bucker, buying a set works out cheaper..

I think you are completely wrong, because magnetic electric guitar pickups do not work in the way a piezo or transducer pickup does, and therefore are incapable of making an electric guitar sound acoustic on their own by design.a66jagdream wrote:i think they sound terrible, like a cheap acoustic/electric

they dont have to work like them, they can still sound like them and these things do.Nick wrote:I think you are completely wrong, because magnetic electric guitar pickups do not work in the way a piezo or transducer pickup does, and therefore are incapable of making an electric guitar sound acoustic on their own by design.a66jagdream wrote:i think they sound terrible, like a cheap acoustic/electric

Transducers and Piezos work by picking up the acoustic vibrations of the instrument, whereas magnetic pickups magnetically pick up the string itself. What I'm saying is it's impossible for it to sound like an electro-acoustic. What you're hearing is one guitar through one amp, with one eq, with one playing style. I highly doubt that's how this thing sounds all the time.
I'd kind of consider this thing if they put up some decent sounding samples with different effects in use.

Dude, that thing sounds like a piezo with the treble maxed. I know it, you know it, the american people know it.Nick wrote:Transducers and Piezos work by picking up the acoustic vibrations of the instrument, whereas magnetic pickups magnetically pick up the string itself.

They have ones with solid covers....
It's one of those things that's new, so I want to try it to hear for myself. I'm not gonna trust a shit sounding clip. Neodynium magnets are very good in most other applications, it'd be interesting to hear how they sound in a guitar pickup. It might just be a gimmick, who knows, but I'm not going to dismiss it as easily as youse guys.

Do they think the only people who buy pickups are beginner new-age jazz players who do too many harmonics?
The sound samples are terrible. Nuff said. But someone could make any pickups sound bad with a sample by playing like that.
you're missing the point, it doesn't really matter how he plays, the pickup doesn't sound full enough for me.
But hell if you want it buy it, i wasnt tellin you not to, i said "w/e floats your boat"
