Bill Lawrence a300 vs a345ss

[cmac]

Hello! I’m pretty new to acoustic guitar pickups and I’m wondering if anyone here has any experience or a review of either the Bill Lawrence a300 or a345ss acoustic sound hole pickups?

I’m not looking to spend a huge amount of money, and I’ve seen both of these on reverb for a pretty good price.

ive used the a300 and it was fine. sounds acousticy and works fine with almost anything you plug it into. its not as detailed as a magmic or sunrise or other more high end soundhole pup but it works just fine

For decades the A300 was THE soundhole pickup for acoustic guitars. It still sounds decent, "acousticy" as Jeremy comments. It's also dead quiet which is a hallmark of Bill Lawrence pickups. The best part - it's priced right.

I have sold and installed A300's since the late 70's with never a problem, and I currently have 2 guitars equipped with them. You will like them, too.
