Here's how it sounds.......
Larrivee L-01 with Schatten Dualie AST installed internally (http://www.orsino.lfhost.com/tunes/L-01Dualie.mp3)

Great! Thanks Ors! Pictures really help alot!

I have to say that I still prefer the sound of your first "mic'ed" recording due to more "woodiness" and the natural sound that I hear. Just me though. Both are good.

I agree Jeff. I don't think any pup can equal a condenser. But IMO the Dualie sounds as good as some pups that are 3X the price.

This will really show you how important placement is with an AST.

First Placement (http://www.orsino.lfhost.com/tunes/L-01Dualie.mp3)

New Placement (http://www.orsino.lfhost.com/tunes/L-01DualieNewPlacement.mp3)

The first one was placed just below the horizontal Larrivee brace. The new placement is just outside the x brace on the bass side.

Oh boy, i can't bear thinking about drilling holes in any of my guitars but you did a nice job and by the way you play very nicely too...

Thanks poki!
Not that hard a job actually. If I can do it anyone can!

I definitely like the Second placement over the first. The first IMO had an almost "dobro" sound to it, while the second has more true acoustic "woodiness" and more "guitar-like" tonality IMO.

Interesting how a different placement can make such a big difference!
