Has anybody A/B:d the Sunrise and the Fishman Rare Earth magnetic p/us,for example in a weissenborn-type guitar?
Pros and cons?I have a Sunrise in a Superior Weiss copy and I`ve heard the Fishman but I haven`t had a chance to compare them.
Thanks in advance!

I have a Fishman Rare Earth Single Coil in my Bear Creek weissenborn. It sounds fine as far as tone goes but I find it too noisy. I wish I'd gotten the humbucking model instead.
All in all, a Weissenborn sounds better to me with a microphone just off the sound hole rather than a pickup.
