Hi guys, looking for a nice pickup for a 000-28ec any suggestions? I have a Dean Markley sound hole pick-up that I use in my J-45 but this time around I was thinking more of an under bridge model. Anyone have any suggestions. Baggs? Fishman? I don't need lots of volume just want to be able to plug in for recording or when playing in a small room.

Howdy Blue! I've got a Fishman Prefix Plus in my only acoustic, and it works pretty good, for a piezo pickup. They tell me it sounds fine out in the house, but in my in-ear monitors I hear some of that "piezo quack" when I hit the strings really hard, and I like to do that sometimes. I don't play it that often on stage, so I've never really worried about it too much. Cool

Piezio quack?! Oh god that's just what my playing needs. I worked the knuckles and paced the floor for a bit and even consulted the ouiji board and then finally gave in and went with the Fishman. I don't have the luxuary of trying one out so I just went with it. Thanks for the input, we will see how it all works out

Well, Blue, you'll probably be very happy with it. That little quirk isn't even noticed by everyone, I'm just way too picky. There are many thousands of Fishman equipped axes out there gigging every day without problems. Cool
