Acoustic Pickups

[The Joe]

I'm back again, and this time with a question about acoustic pickups...

I have a Martin DXK2, it's made all of koa with great low end, and I'm looking for a pickup with a nice clear, transparent sound for 80-100 dollars. Problem is, I don't have the first clue as to what pickup to get. Anyone?

Re: Acoustic Pickups

If you're thinking sound-hole magnetic, I'd suggest a Woody XL or Acoustic Tube. If you're thinking under-saddle, then either the D-TAR Sadducer or the Timber-Line. The Sadducer is piezo crystal and doesn't require a pre-amp or batteries, the Timber-Line is piezo film and it comes with a built-in 18v pre-amp.

I hope that helps. Check out the D-TAR page for more info. www.d-tar.com.
