My new Vintage VE5000SB-12 has a Fishman Rare Earth Magnetic Soundhole Pickup - humbucking version - www.fishman.com/portfolio/rare-earth-magnetic-soundhole-pickup/
My question - in the user guide for this pickup, it states that it is voiced for bronze or phosphor bronze strings, which makes sense, but should I avoid coated strings with this type of pickup? There is no mention made of coated strings, but it does say to avoid nickel electric guitar strings...
I am assuming the coated strings (Elixers or Cleartones) would send less of a signal to this type of pickup. Am I correct? 🤔
