There are different styles- under saddle and sound hole and under bridge...

This one has a mic- under the bridge, yes under the bridge (not saddle, which is a piezo pick up) microphone and a jack like the piezo pick up.

Finished puttin it in about an hour ago... cussin at me left hand... I've worked on stuff all my life and prided me self on having eyes in my fingers... I'm now blind in me left hand

with the callouses... and, bleedin at me left wrist with a big bruise on the back of the left hand....

that is sooooo aggravatin...

Haven't figured out the amp settings just yet but what I hear is pretty cool... it better resembles an acoustic guitar than the Fishman's with the sound hole adjustments. And that (soundin more acoustic) is what I was after... I'm anxious to take it to open mic, but, John has a prior annual gig with a band he plays with... so there will be no open mic for me

Derick, I think (?) I learned somethin about "presence" as used on the Lyric adjustment...

More presence picks up the individual strings more, makes them seem more lively and less forgivin... less presence tames that. If I were a better player I might incorporate more presence. Since I'm almost at the novice level of player I use less presence.

I guess it's the equal of tone on the Fishman Sonitone pick up.... but with more clarity.
