SO... ran across a pickup that I've never heard of & wonder if anyone has seen or heard this little gem? Its a "McIntyre UF-07 Acoustic Feather". Saw it on eBay from a seller that also lists Fishman, Dean Markley, & a bunch of others for just about any stringed instrument. A UU search only found two "hits" from past threads; one was in a Kanilea for sale.

It looks pretty interesting as it doesn't require you to drill a hole under your saddle or file the saddle down to accomodate the thickness. Anyone have experience with this pickup?

Still needs the "endpin" hole drilled, just not one under the saddle. Stewmac carries them too.

Jake uses a Fishman Infinity Matrix in his signature model Kamakas. Even with this top of the line UST pickup, there is no guarantee you'll ever sound like him
