Does it make a difference?
I like how it doesn't pick up a lot of the finger movement noise.
hmm, this looks very interesting. how does it differ from oPik at Light4Sound.com ?
Why not a 6 channel output you have 6 pickups ?
1:35 These don't get noise from lights like magnetic pickups? How could that be possible? I thought they would be more sensitive to light because they use light sensors to work. AC lights often blink at 100hz or 120 hz, so how do they not interfere?
I always had a fantasy that pickups that use light would sound good. Nope. Sounds as bad as a 90s piezo pickup. Blech. Magnets remain king.
Yeah, sounds like a piezo to me too (a sound I'm not much of a fan of). Also it looks like palm muting might be problematic.
quacky piezo duck. clunky unattractive bridge. not the future yet.
Sounds like a piezo to me..
Great idea… poor placement of pickup. Fails to take in full vibration of strings. Sounds like a cheap piezo rather than a full bore pickup
I'd say it sounds very much like an undersaddle pickup… maybe more feedback resistant though
why didn't you have a real guitar player doing the music, while you did the talking…
can't palm mute it then?…no thanx
Sounds like a cheap piezo here.
the intonation is a function of the frets ….I think this pickup would be perfect for a violin
because videos stay up, and prices change
Why doesn't any reviewer on the Internet put the price of the guitar in their videos?!
If so, then list them.
I agree with one of the other comments about the sterile sound. It's almost like audio equipment of the '80's where any THD(total harmonic distortion) is almost entirely eliminated giving cd's a very flat, too clean, unnatural sound. I have a Turner Renaissance RS-6 that would destroy this thing. Lightwave needs to go back to the drawing board.
I would have liked to hear how it sounds with a high gain/high distortion setup to see what the hum would sound like.
I'm kind of amazed they didn't make their standard model a hollow body acoustic/electric since I can't imagine this pickup would be affected much at all by microphonic feedback. Seems like a missed opportunity.
Nice demo
is it really 'noiseless'? at 5:23 the volume on the pickup is turned up and it seems that the hiss is increased.
I agree with some other posts that it sounds like a bridge pickup and yes, that is not really surprising if you pick up the string vibration at the bridge. I guess an optical neck pickup would compromise playability, you need something on top of the strings. In theory you might detect the string vibration in reflection mode but I can think of some practical limitations…
