Acoustic pickup

Can anyone recommend a good system to fit onto an accoustic that doesn’t involve cutting away anything for an EQ and battery housing ?

LR Baggs Anthem is the most available good one. I think I slightly prefer the Seymour Duncan Wavelength, but it's hard to get.

The KK sound Pure Western Mini is also very, very good, but that one really needs a preamp pedal to get the most out of it. Soundhole pickups are easy to fit, readily accessible . . . and shit. Don't bother with those.

Thanks. I know there are a few but wondered what success stories there were. I had one installed in my D28 ( can’t remember what the brand was). I installed the battery and EQ setup in a box so didn’t need to put in the guitar

I seldom pick up an acoustic.

I feel the Tonare's anguish.

Probably more likely to pick up if you did, though.
