Does any one have a pickup they installed in a acustic guitar? what kind do you have? how do you like it? how hard was it to install? Do you have the one with the jack that comes though the endpin hole?
and input on what kind I sould get?

I have a Fishman Neo-D soundhole pickup. It's fairly low power, but for a soundhole pickup I've always been told it's rather organic sounding.

ok......So using one of them can you still plug into a floorpod?

I use a Fishman Rare Earth Blend and its the best music gear purchase I've ever made.

Best acoustic after market pickups = Fishman.

ok....how hard is it to put in??

[teledweller]

Easy as pie. I just slip it in and tighten the screws when I use it, but it can be permanently installed. I would never hire someone, nor by myself, drill or cut holes in a guitar as it leaves potential for mistakes and tone and value depreciation.

I was looking at the one where the end pin hole becomes a jack.
Do i have to modify my guitar for that kind?

The rare earth blend comes with an end pin jack option - you just have to take out the existing end pin (which I've done on a spare guitar I had), and widen the hole to fit the jack. I sounds easy, but I'd be nervous doing it myself on a guitar you really valued.
