A WORD ABOUT ACOUSTIC GUITAR PICKUPS:
A lot has changed since I first began installing acoustic pickups & I’ve tried just about every pickup for acoustic guitar available. Recently, with innovations from L.R.Baggs like their Anthem, Lyric, and M-80 pickups, K&K’s Pure Mini, & Fishman’s Aura system we’ve moved much closer to the warm, organic plugged in sound we’ve all been seeking for so long. They one is minimally invasive & can provide excellent stage sound, giving the player on-board control without the ugly hole in the side of your guitar.
The K&K pickups can be a good choice for solo players wanting to maintain as natural tone as possible, especially so for classical players but we’ve had great results on dreadnoughts, too.
We do lots of pickup installations & we’ll be glad to advise you on your choice. However, the choice is yours & we encourage you to do your homework & make your own decision. One particuarly positive aspect of all the choices I’ve mentioned is that they’re all reversible if you should choose something else or just to go back to pure acoustic.
