I know what's under that block of wood!

You gotta make it stereo, and then listen on headphones. Put the other pickup 
maybe six inches away from the first, or experiment a bit (I know, it sounds 
different if it's not glued down).

It *will* blow your mind.

Beautiful demo recording (I assume overdub or panning left / right):

With that many spatially-significant (ie, HF) harmonics, and the complex 
reflections throughout the body of the instrument, you need to hear the 
psycho-acoustic interference of the two physically distinct channels, because it 
actually amplifies the dimensionality of the instrument. This is not saying 
there's *anything* wrong with having just the one pickup. Just saying, two, is 
much more than two :)

'Tis very cool when an instrument like this sounds as beautiful as it looks (as 
it already does).
