Title: Morgan Concert - which pickup to install (for a strummer) ?
Post by: sixstrings on March 20, 2007, 02:25:11 PM
Hi Guys,

So, after 5 months of waiting, i'm getting my guitar next week. And this time i need to make the decision on which pickup to put in.

The guitar is Morgan Concert cutaway with sitka top and mahogany back and side.  And i'm mostly strummer as i play the lead acoustic for our band(drum+keyboard+bass+piano+(a couple of electric guitars on occasions)

I've been considering,
* Baggs Element
* Baggs IBeam
*K&K Pure Western

So far, i'm leaning toward either Element or Pure Western.  But wanted to get some help/advise from the gurus here.

Thanks in advance.  :smile:

K & K every time. There the greatest--and won't empty the wallet.

I've got K&K's in both my L-03 and the all mahogany parlor...

The K&K, just the passive Pure Western Mini, has tons of output, even without a preamp.  They sound very natural and don't cost an arm and a leg.
