"Pushing the envelope ... far ahead of its time"
Guitarre Exclusive, April 2001
“Carlos Juan manufactures the best example of tubular under-saddle-style pickup. The pickup sounds better then most, regardless of style … A vast improvement over most ... and it feeds back the least of our bunch.”

David Knopfler (ex-Dire Straits) says ...
I'm not any kind of sonic-fidelity expert Carlos, it has to be said, but to my ears I think you've come up with a first class solution here to acoustic amplification!
The Martin feels and plays totally without any of the previous drawbacks amplification had, working perfectly with no hums or feedback too - the kind of quality of balance spread too I'd not expected.
The sound doesn't seem to be coloured in the negative ways most pickups generate.

Serious about your sound? ... you should be using a Carlos Pickup!
