Tech Tips

After having an Acoustic Matrix pickup system installed in my guitar, I am noticing that some strings are louder than others. Is there something wrong with this pickup? How can this problem be solved?

It is virtually impossible for an Acoustic Matrix pickup to be more responsive in some areas and less responsive in others due to a defect in the pickup. The reason for unbalanced string volumes is a lack of even down-bearing pressure on the pickup under the weaker strings. This translates to lower volume for that particular string. This problem can be caused by many things including an uneven saddle slot, a saddle with an uneven bottom surface, a guitar that is "belly-up", a lifting or loose bridge, poor fit of the pickup in the saddle slot and an insufficient break angle of the strings over the saddle. A qualified repair shop should be able to identify which issue or issues you are dealing with and make the appropriate corrections.
