Avenir,
Glad you got your Pickup situation figured out.
The Zoller has always intrigued me. I've heard that it does a lot to magnify the sound of the guitar.
I am glad that the string balance out good for you.
Can you point out any differences between the stock Pickup and the Zoller?
Thanks,
Joe D

Hi Joe -- Yes, I am pleased with it, was looking for a less acoustic-amplified tone and more of a set in humbucker tone. That to me is the biggest difference, while the original KA-designed pickup gave a brighter more acoustic sound, the Zoller is a fuller, darker, richer tone, if that makes sense... somewhat like a mini humbucker vs. a hotter PAF.
Not that the Zoller is "hot" as it's not. Also, installed it so that the bottom of the pickup is resting on the top of the guitar, not a problem as it has a soft epoxy-like base, not tacky/sticky, but nice in that it won't scratch the guitar top (maybe had been designed like this for all I know, would make sense).
Another plus was the neck mount, which I prefer to pickguard mount, more solid feeling, not as 'flimsy' but that's just my preference.
All in all, not as airy and open and acoustic as a true floater, but more full range humbucker, but still remaining good acoustic properties/overtones if you will. Also think the feel is better, seems to react faster and bigger, more electric than acoustic in overall 'feel.'
Hope that helps....
