I trial fitted this pickup to my Loar V600 archtop which has an excellent acoustic sound, rather warmer than the vast majority of archtops that I have played, including vintage instruments. The pickup mirrored the acoustic tone of the guitar with just a little top cut and some aging EJ16 strings and could be coaxed into providing a surprising amount of bass - surprising because floating pickups thin enough to fit into the space available on this type of guitar usually also have a rather thin sound quality (this applies to the market leader as much as any other). Very pleased and not a little smug!
