P,
I need your technical assistance. If the saddle of an acoustic transfers vibration from the strings directly to the soundboard, what happens if you break the direct contact of the saddle with the top by installing an under saddle pickup? I'll grant you the thickness of the transducer is just a few thousanths, but does that minute thickness and loss of contact between the top and saddle diminish sonic transfer slightly? :?:
