Tweedy Ditched the baggs m1?

[tstopera]

Im new here, and apologize if this has been discussed but lately I have seen him using the new Seymour Duncan MagMic pickup rather than his trusty old Baggs M1's in acoustics. Has anyone used this or have any info for his switch????

i don't think he's switched completely. When i saw them in April, he only had one (maybe two) acoustics with the seymour duncan, the rest had the M1's.

yeah, I think he's basically ditched the Baggs (at least for now). He had 3 guitars with him this weekend and all 3 had the sunrise pickups in them.

though my memory is a little hazy, I thought I saw that during his solo set at Solid Sound, all but one of his guitars had Sunrises in them. I think the only one that didn't was a small bodied gibson...

At solid sound, only one guitar had the M1, and it was the one that was making the buzzing noise when he tried to play Remember the Mountain Bed (if i remember correctly), so it never even got used.

FWIW I was at the July 24 Letters to Santa Show, he used the Sunrise pickups, but made cryptic reference to the fact that others seek out Wilco's technical expertise in miking acoustic instruments, so I took that to mean sometimes there are multiple mikes, i.e., under saddle and a Sunrise type rig. It was interesting - he said he liked the Sunrise pickups alot, but that the guy who makes them only makes enough to support his skiing or surfing habit and when he's got enough $, he leaves town. True enough, the sunrise website seems deserted last I checked. Anyway, Jeff sure seemed to be a fan of the Sunrise pickups that evening.
