12 string guitar

Curious whether anyone has experience with this pickup/preamp combo. I spoke with the Breedlove tech dept, and they told me it is an under saddle piezo film (not crystals). They said it gives a much better linear response compared with older style pickups.

A HUGE thanks to Marco for helping me with the string arrangement on a song I'm working on for my friend and client, Terry Fairfax.

We've been having some trouble - not with the parts, but with the sounds of the samples.

I'm recording a 12-string acoustic guitar into a Shure KSM44 mic and into a Universal Audio SOLO/610 preamp into an Apogee Duet into my MacBook Pro running Logic Pro 8. The recording is very thin/tinny.

I'm currently working on recording myself doing some solo instrumentals on a Fender 12-string guitar. Most of the songs are in open C or G tunings, and I'm finding that I get way too much proximity effect when close miking, but when I pull the mikes back, I lose a lot of the "sparkle" that the octave stings add to the music and the bass line goes out the window.
