Like Fishman’s Rare Earth and LR Baggs’ M1 (issue 253), this unit extends into the soundhole, but looks fairly slim from the front. It’s encased in a tough moulded plastic housing, and is lighter than its US counterparts. The mounting clamps are a bit fi ddly, and need longer tightening screws to cater for thicklipped soundholes (Lowden/Avalon). Despite this poor design, both clamping surfaces are padded.
