K&K Pure Maccaferri XT

Satisfied with the pickup. Using it on my Altamira m20 with AER amp and the sound is altogether beautiful - very crisp with sharp transients. Only thing that could create a problem on some setups is that it's rather "bassy", there's a ton of low end so low cut and EQ are a necessity.

To sum up, I'd recommend it to any Macaferri/Selmer style guitar player out there since amplifying such guitars is always somewhat problematic and this pickup gives the best neutral sounding and quality tone that I've heard so far.

Top quality balanced sound from a very un-fussy and tidy set up.
Easy to fit and once on, does not spoil the good looks of my Gitane Llolo Reindhardt guitar The external Jack Socket mount sticks well to the base of the body and is removable if you should need to do so. I leave mine attached.

I have seldom, if ever, been impressed by the sound of an aftermarket pickup solution for an accoustic guitar, at least not for Gypsy Jazz which is what I play. This came recommended by a friend who had bought one so I gave it a try on an Altamira M01F. Does it sound transparent and exactly like the guitar mic'd up? No ~ but it is way better than I expected. It has a perfectly usable tone, especially when used with a preamp and it has not turned the guitar into a feedback machine. I regard this as being a very useable and practical solution for playing live.
