Just curious about what some of the differences regarding sound and noise from each.
My two current acoustics both have piezo under saddle pickups, both Fishman electronics.
Recently I treated myself to a Yamaha THR5A and while I haven't had a load of time to play around, there are two things I have noticed.
The B (mainly) and e strings on both guitars both project louder when I finger pick and after messing around with the controls, I cannot change this.
Secondly, finger noise is quite dramatic.
Just taking something cheap like a Seymore Duncan Woody XL as an example. Due to the adjustable pole pieces, I assume I can tweak the sound to suit my ear?
I did notice an LR Baggs pickup with the B and e pole pieces already set really low. I guess this may be a 'normal issue'?
Secondly, does a soundhole pickup reduce the finger to string noise at all? I tend to play quite gently and certainly when amped up, the finger string noise can over power a little.
Technique will play a part here and it's something to work on, but when my cheap Squier Strat is plugged in I don't have these finger noise issues as much.
