Will the Woody SC work with nylon-string classical guitars?
No. The Woody SC is a magnetic pickup and requires steel strings to function. It will not work with nylon-stringed instruments.
Which pickup is better for metal?
Neither is ideal for metal. The SSL-1T is specifically not recommended for metal or djent. The Woody SC is designed for acoustic amplification and live folk performance, not electric metal tones.
