A Great, natural sounding pickup. The chaps at Richards Guitars fitted this beautifully to my Dowina GAc and it takes nothing away from the aesthetics of the guitar. The sound is very natural. I have tested this through a variety of amps and processors, from inexpensive busking amps to higher end stage PA. I have tested it dry through the PA desk as well as through a pedalboard with a smidgen of reverb and chorus. The sound remains natural and acoustic. It simply amplifies the natural sound of your acoustic guitar rather than electrify it. Tone control is - despite everything positive - very basic. You could call it moving from bass to treble, or from Dull to bright. However, on a high end acoustic, this high end pickup should not need to be adjusted more than a few cents here and there anyway. It sounds perfect right in the middle zone.
Very happy with this pickup and if you have used cheaper pickups which you thought "did the job", as I have done, you will be mightily surprised.
A great choice.
I've left giving feedback for a couple of weeks in order to properly review this guitar. It's so easy to mistake the initial feeling of excitement and joy for objective truth!
But honestly, each time I pick this Dowina Paduak GAc up, it continues to offer up its distinctive sound and leaves you in bliss. The Cedar top and open pore back and sides Padauk provide a perfectly balanced tone across the frequencies and across the strings. Neither too boomy nor too brittle. No matter what chord you are playing, or whether finger picking up and down the neck, each string, each note is present. Only your hand position controls the tone.
The ebony fretboard is as smooth as the the proverbial and gliding up and down is a breeze. Each note is true, even at the 14th fret.
The setup is perfect. The people at Richard's Guitars have done a professional job. Action, tuning, neck - absolutely 1st class.
It took two visits to choose this guitar. Jake made sure there were similar models as well as different sounding instruments in order to make fair comparison. Some of the other makers were very tempting - Auden and Furch, for example.
Richards Guitars - and Jake - provide a very comfortable, personal space in order to allow you to test the guitars and their unhurried attitude made it possible for me to finally choose my Dowina Padauk GAc.
I cannot praise Richards Guitars and Jake (and Jon) highly enough. They really do what they claim on their website -provide a superior professional service rooted in their own knowledge and enthusiasm for great sounding instruments.
Thank you.
