Hey guys, a quick question. This is not my area of expertise, but I have customer I just built a auditorium size guitar for, and he needs a pickup. He doesn't want a stand mic. We don't want to cut into the body, and he's not crazy about the fishman soundhole pickup sys. What would you guys recommend here. Thanks in advance.

Other than the input jack, there is no undoable changes to the guitar.

I like the K&K as well but another very good option is LR Baggs M1a easy set-up and removal if later the client should decide to remove it.

Oh, there is a new K and K offered jack, that requires no mod to a Martin style endpin hole, it's tapered and 1/8th inch female, so it requires a special cord, that's all. Pretty cool, close to $100 for the special jack tapered Pin.

There is the LR Baggs I-beam pickups too. It has a control set that discreetly fits in the sound hole, so it cant be seen when installed.


The K&K pickups have something similar as far as the soundhole adjustable controls. Neither pickup brands need any hole cutting.

As a biased pickup company co-owner, I say check out our D-TAR stuff.   www.d-tar.com
