Godin A5 - nylon tapewounds ok?

Any string will be ok with a piezo pickup, since they work by detecting physical vibrations in the instrument (or in your case in particular the bridge).  Magnetic pickups work, however, by detecting a change in the magnetic field, for which you need a string with a steel/nickel core.  Which make/model tapewound is it?

The issue is with individual piezo saddles rather than an under saddle strip.  I think the Godin have individual saddle piezos?  I have a Bolin NS Design with individual saddle piezos that just won't work with nylon tapewounds and a Dean Pace EUB - also with individual piezo saddles - that did with a bit of fettling. 

As it seems to vary I wondered specifically if anyone who has a Godin A4/5 has it strung with nylon tapewounds.

As it happens, I was just reading up about these strings earlier today - I couldn't find any demo videos on YouTube though.  I'd be interested what you think of them.

Don't hold your breath, they've been in my drawer for over a year, I will try and fit them next year!
