Hey Gang....

I plan on installing acoustic pickups in my two acoustic guitars (12str and 6str).

Do you have any suggestions?

Active vs. passive?

Under saddle or bridge-plate or mic?

FWIW....the 12-string is a very playable, but modest guitar, so pickup pricing is a consideration. The 6-string is a 40 year old high-end dreadnought that sounds amazing....deep but bright, with lots of harmonics and sustain ringing. Im willing to spend more on that pickup.

Thanks a lot!!

lr baggs all day my friend....

I've personally used them in 2 guitars myself, one was a big body and the other an orchestra model. fortunatly the baggs held its ground very well in both guitar models. also ive had problems in the past with the strap pin falling off and all i had to do was contact the lr baggs support team and they mailed me the part free of charge

Amen on that Baggs. I've been installing iMix double elements in all my acoustic builds, until this past Spring, when I switched to the new Anthem. The Anthem is the Gold Standard for acoustic pickups, if you ask me...
