    Hello all!

    A customer asked me to fit some pickup for his flamenco guitar to play in small amplified venues without external mic. I’ve been inside my cave for so long I’m completely outdated at noveltys in the field.

    Having installed some months ago a <b itemprop=”name” style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;”>L.R.Baggs Anthem on an steel string acoustic I’ve found it great for what it is (sure you won’t get a natural sound with internal mics, piezo sand preamps, but good enough for on stage). There’s a classical version with both the Anthem mic and the under saddle piezo, as the one I used on the steel strung.

    The customer doesn’t want to have 2 different outputs (as I’ve installed sometimes for flamenco players that wanted to blend the UST with another signal for the flamenco percussive sounds) so I’m looking for a single unit.

    Have any of you some experience with it on a flamenco?

    Any recommendations for that matter? Maybe k&k would pickup the flamenco sound right?


    Thanks you in advance.


    Manuel

    Some partners here recommended me the “k&k pure classic” as flamenco players who need amplification tend to use…
