I have the L.R. Baggs I Beam in my L05 and a friend has the I mix in his L09. Both are splendid, but I like the simplicity of the I Beam. Best of luck, John

I know a friend that put one of these in, and it sounds great.  If I were to add a pickup that's what I'd probably do for my D-03.

Got one in my 03 dread.  No regrets.

Ditto on the K&K. Inexpensive, accurate, simple. Your only choice would be whether to get the Pure Western Mini or the Standard size. K&K is recommending the mini for all steel string axes going forward, which tells me that they may phase out the Standard.

I have the PWM in my L-03 and it sounds fantastic; noticably better than the $400 Fishman Prefix Blender dual source in my Taylor. I wish the K&K had been available when I installed this in the Taylor.
