Acoustic pick-up, Which one do you prefer?

[prsplayer86]

So it happened ... I finally got an acoustic that plays like a Taylor and sounds like a Martin.. but the damn thing doesn't have any electronics (go figure). So I'm looking at buying a pickup or internal microphone for it. ( I know nothing about acoustic pickups)

What would you run ? Should I suck it up and play in front of a 57' or get an active system? Run with with a cut free passive system, or one of the sound hole pickup setups????

Looking for insight

thanks !

So what was it? I'm looking for a good model to try out. I have a Seagull S6 right now.

I'd stick an AKG C414 in front of it near the 12th fret and call it a day..
You havent modded the guitar and it sounds better than most pup systems out there

The LR Baggs Dual source is the best I've used. Bridge transducer and condenser mic with the ability to blend to your liking.

I'm a big fan of their Anthem-SL model.
Either way, LR Baggs seems to have little affect on tone...which is what we're after on an acoustic.
