LR BAGGS element VS fishman SBT-E

condomitti

Hi guys,

I'm looking for an option of pickup to install on my cigano petit-bouche, and so far the ones I came across with - among the not much expensives - are the Element by lr baggs and SBT-E from fishman.

Any opinions about those? Acoustic sound/bass/treble?

Has any of you ever used one of those?

Here are the links:

That LR Baggs sounds interesting but I don't see how you could install it on the GJ guitar?

I had K'n'K floating bridge and it sounded good but I had trouble with feedback when I neede to be louder playing live through the amp so I sold it. At the lower to medium volume it sounded very good and it didn't require any additional preamp although a thing like Fisman platinum eq pro pedal helped a ton with a feedback in all but those loud situations.
