K&K Pure Maccaferri XT VS K&KPure Maccaferri Pickup or Pure Mini

I want to amplify this thing & I've decided K&K is the route I want to go.

D Hole, so I could fit the two or three sensor ones inside.

I'm assuming we think that's best rather than the ones that mount outside?

Any opinions on the K&K options? Thanks!

lol...I saw some reviews on here from some old threads...okay to awful. :)

I had a K&K in a Collings for a very brief period of time, couldn't get it out of there fast enough yet...I still am curious about one in the GJ guitar.

This is a picky crowd when it comes to amplifying. A lot of people are using K&K, I'd think, but don't advertise. It gets the job done, it'll make noise coming from the speaker. It was the first pickup I used, sounded ok. It was a pure pure floating bridge model. You'll most likely have the same overall impression as in the Collings.

Something to think about, as I know that you know it's not going to sound very acoustic, say compared to a condenser mic. Just as a magnetic pickup won't. In my view a magnetic pickup is the better choice between the two.

If course if you do the internal K&K it'll have a practical advantage. You plug in and play. That was the main reason why I internally installed Manouche mic. Which sounds very good by the way.

There's a Krivo pickup that came up for sale a few days ago, looks brand new, FYI. It's never a bad thing to have one in your gigbag.
