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.

I am in the market for a 12 string to record with, and there is a like-new one of these guitars available locally for about $500. I like the guitar acoustically, but I cannot always mic my instruments, so I want to get a 12 string with a pickup that sounds good when recording.

Any comments would be appreciated :-)
