Acoustic pick up

[Kswiss]

Hello,

Question for the musical CP member.....I am planning to start playing some shows soon with my trusty ol acoustic guitar....unfortunatley the funds dont allow for me to get a new guitar with a built in pick up so am looking to do the add on to the standard acoustic....

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I am also a fingerstylist so would the chord actually get in the way of finger picking?


Thanks all.....any help would be awesome....

Most shops can install a pickup inside the body with the plug replacing the strap nut...

Otherwise it may get in the way if you use a removable unit.

You could try an external acoustic pickup http://cgi.ebay.com/JJBELECTRONICS-E...item3363dca2fc

Or try a condenser mic in front of the guitar http://cgi.ebay.com/CAD-CM217-Conden...item2eb57f17e1

Both of these shouldn't get in the way. Hope this helps and good luck!

Just stick a condenser mic in front of your guitar when you are playing and need some more volume. You can get great results with this with the right sound tech.
