Carpet's pickup system has always been an industry leader and is probably one of the most authentic and natural tones on the market today. The reason is that the Carpet pickups are independently developed, and there are very few guitar companies on the market that can independently develop the pickup system, and the Carpet pickups can be more in line with the sound tonality of the guitars they produce, so that the pickups and guitars complement each other.
Carpet's best-selling series is mainly the SRS series and EBG series. Among them, the SRS series is Carpet's relatively low-cost all-veneer series, priced at about 10,000 yuan, with spruce panels, ebony back side panels, rosewood fingerboard configuration, and AP5 or AP5 Pro pickup system. The AP5 Pro series is upgraded on the basis of the classic AP5Mic, and the main improvements are two: first, the microphone position can be freely adjusted to find the best pickup point; The second is that the microphone adjustment and the bridge pickup adjustment are separated, which can be adjusted independently, which is more flexible and free, and is a powerful choice on the way to the performance.
EBG808 can be said to be Carpet's milestone guitar model, 808 series is Carpet's small box piano, the barrel type is similar to the OM type, it is also Tommy's royal guitar model, mostly using spruce top with Queensland maple back and side plates, Queensland maple is Carpet's main material, light, strong, eye-catching, in terms of timbre belongs to Tommy's style, full of power, dynamic range is also relatively large, recommended American fingerstyle lovers or jazz players to buy.
