Acoustic pickup

Post by MrDINO »

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 feel the Tonare's anguish.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

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