The output on the undersaddle transducer pickup on my Simon & Patrick acoustic is really low. I've tried taking the pickup out and it seems pretty response to being hit with things, so is probably OK. I noticed that the bottom of the bridge is at a bit of an angle, so that seems like it might be the culprit, except that the pickup DID work at some point, and I don't see how the bridge could have developed an angle.
Is it possible that the pickup is supposed to have something underneath it to make the correct contact with the bridge? What would you even use for this? The action on the guitar is already super low so I don't want to have to shave more off.

If you do need to shim it, it's usually best to put the shim under the pickup.
