Ghost Prewired Saddle Pickup Set

The whole experience was new to me. Buying from Stew-Mac, buying piezos, installing piezos. On all these accounts, this was an enjoyable experience that was far better than any of my expectations. Purchasing at Stew-Mac and the prompt delivery to Japan was flawless! The pickups are now in my Variax and they sound excellent! I was able to install them despite my complete lack of experience.

I replaced the Rmc piezo set, on my Brian Moore i91.13 (China)Guitar. My old piezos were cutting out intermittently. I had to cut off the ends on the Ghost set, and splice them into a portion of the existing wiring (the old pickups were soldered to a circut board). The splice went great...all the pickups are working. I will have to make some adjustments to my acoustic guitar pedal...the ghost system is a bit 'softer', more of a mellow sound. I also had some stray synth notes ... need to tweek the Roland GR-20. Over all, happy with the Ghost system. I like the solid molded piezo design better than the RMC design.

At last, No more dropped volumes on my Variax. These aren’t my first set of Graphtech products. I have already upgraded (can’t stress that word enough) two guitars with string savers, but this is the my first Ghost set and I think it may not be my last.

I got these to replace the original LR Baggs Variax saddles, those were very bad. “Clunky/metaly” sound quality to the Baggs were surly not missed, even worst I had dropped volume on one saddle and varied with the trem arm movement.

The volume jumped, L6 Workbench is a must to lower the overall volume of the Ghost system to avoid muddy distorted sounds. The Variax modeling quality did not get affected, sound is particularly smother on some modes of the Variax. Nice wide response on the acoustic modes, love the mids.

Would definitely recommend. Installation was a @#$@# though, but can’t complain, if they were installed on their own Ghraphtech system it would have been hassle free.

And as always, StewMac service and shipping speed is AMAZING
