Never Fishman, sometimes K&K Pure for solo work in small venues, and Baggs Anthem for any number of pros.

I have tried an under the saddle Fishman pickup and did not like it. I also do not like the K&K Pure Mini pickup. Both of those feel very unnatural to me. I have a hard time adjusting to playing live with them. I much prefer the Dazzo pickup. To me, it sounds like the guitar and feels like the guitar when I play live. I also do prefer to build with a wider saddle. I am using 5mm with saddle now.

Dazzo Demo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOTY_bmf_AY&t=82s

I looked at Dazzo for a minute or two. At the time he was using epoxy to glue the transducers to the bridge plate and brake fluid (!) to remove them. Yikes.

I've installed a couple of Dazzos. IMHO, they are by quite a good margin the best sounding pickups I have installed, or heard for that matter.

But…

1. The units are very large and won't fit every bridge plate. Measure carefully.

2. The maker is adamant you should use epoxy. I don't like this as the units can (and will) move quite easily.

Great sounding pickups, provided you choose what version you'll be jnstalling wisely. Check with the maker as different guitars need different versions.

Well, that's not the first time I've got backwards something. I'll try not to let it again happen.

Don't worry, Al! I'm sure you've forgotten more stuff than the rest of us put together ever knew!
