Got the ‘burst F50r in the shop...

Got the 2005 sunburst F50r in the shop.
I’m having the factory-installed Fishman Matrix Natural 1 removed and having my favorite K&K pure mini w/volume control installed. I played it live and even tho the guitar sounds stellar acoustically, plugged in it paled in comparison to all the other I have with the K&K. I tried different preamp configurations and even without the preamps... nah!

And I don’t know WHAT they used for saddle material on this particular guitar, but playing acoustically and A/B-ing it with the “Kristofferson”... it sounds so good, I decided not to swap it. The pickup that’s coming out is SO thin, my luthier is going to put a in spruce shim and see how that sounds.

Fingers crossed...I’ll get it back later this week.

She’s back and better than ever!!! The K&K really lets this baby sing... and no quack or harshness! Just the full rich sound of this amazing guitar,,,amplified! And the action is better than ever too! He got it down just a little lower without any buzz!
Can’t say enough good things about the Tacoma-built F50r! I am one happy guitar-slinger!
