The LGX-SA is a hardtail, maybe that makes a difference. I kind of think the vibrations on the trem on the XT-SA were screwing with the tracking. If I played it in acoustic mode with the piezo I could always hear a lot of superfluous noises.I have a Godin LGX-SA with RMC piezos. I really haven't had any issues with it. I had a GK3 mounted on another guitar but sold it along with a GP-10 when I replaced with the SY-1000. I did buy another GK3 but haven't gotten around to mounting it on anything yet.
I'm really tempted by this new SY-1000, I used to have a VG-99 that I really enjoyed. I don't have a 13-pin guitar at the moment so that would mean getting either a GK-3 or another guitar... what are you all using?
I have a Ghost on one guitar, and I almost sold my Godin Nylon Multiac a few years ago, but I came to my senses just in time. So glad I still have it. I think I remember you as one of the guys mentioning playing some classical on a thread or two. I was taking some classes at Orange Coast College when I still lived in SoCal, and after the first semester I started taking one-on-one lessons from the instructor. I'm so glad I did, not just for what I learned, but for the fact that it gave me a love for playing a different style I never realized I would enjoy as much as I did. (Wish I could find a teacher even close to that caliber up here.)I have the GK-3A permanently installed in two guitars: Fender American Deluxe Strat and Ibanez RG550LTD
I also installed Ghost Piezo Saddles at the Strat, with the Acoustiphonic Preamp, Hexpander and routing for the 13-pin connector. But I prefer the GK-3A because the Piezo Saddles capture subsonic frequencies that sometimes create a little bit of mess.
I regret having sold a Godin Nylon Multiac.
@hippietim how difficult is the GK3 pickup to mount? I am considering an SY-1000 and have been looking at the Mann Made GK Pickup mounting rings to use on one of my PRS's. Any experience with those? I don't want to buy a 13 pin guitar, but also don't want to screw a GK pickup to my guitar. Any advice?
It's pretty easy, you can use double sided tape (seen a LOT of guitarists use this) or bridge mounts@hippietim how difficult is the GK3 pickup to mount?

Hey my old GX700....Still have mine!
With the right guitar double side tape is effortless, with little to no pickup adjustment needed....just did it this weekend with a new GK3 on my trustyIt's pretty easy, you can use double sided tape (seen a LOT of guitarists use this) or bridge mounts
You can drill too but the double sided option is quick easy and you can swap to another guitar easily
Brad - does your TriplePlay track well not being next to the bridge?With the right guitar double side tape is effortless, with little to no pickup adjustment needed....just did it this weekend with a new GK3 on my trusty

Maybe it isn’t a fair comparison, but what’s your thoughts on the Triple Play compared to the SY-1000? I would only be using it at home, not live performing so being tie to a computer wouldn’t really be an issue.With the right guitar double side tape is effortless, with little to no pickup adjustment needed....just did it this weekend with a new GK3 on my trusty

For that case you should really check out Midi Guitar 2 by Jam Origins...
