Hi,

What can you guys recomend me for pickups for an acoustic. I just don't even know where to start, I have a Martin D-17 that I would love to use for Coffe Shop style gigs, but the place is just too big for just me and my Martin, any suggestions for a pickup? I know I do not wanna cut a hole for the preamp are anything,I jus wanna good "pop in" one.

Thanks

i've used a dean markley pro mag for some time and am pleased with it -- it certainly isn't the best but it is easy in and out and reproduces the guitars tone pretty faithfully --

but you may want to invest in an onboard device and higher quality since you have made the investment in a martin :)

The only reason I fear the onboard idea is that I am in love with the sound of this guitar, and I am really afraid that cutting/drilling on this beauty will hurt it's sultry voice. But I will definitely try the Dean Markley
