Re: Hexapohic pickups



Hayden wondered a while ago:

yes it is, but the problem is that the pickup does not sound good because
it is installed so close to the bridge. And it has to be installed there,
because otherwhise its impossible to separate strings well while the player
is bending.

Piezo bridge pickups do not have this problem and separate a lot better
than the magnetic ones.

Shadow / RMC / PARADIS /... for piezo
Bartolini / Armstrong... for magnetics.
