Official Luthiers Forum!

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.

K&K.

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

K and K is standard.

There are others but we keep comin' back.

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.
