Pickup on larrivee OM-05e good?

[Fingerstyler]

Ok, so I've just about decided to get a OM larrivee. My question is am i better off getting the Om-05e with the fishman pickup installed or save some $ and buy the regular om-05. If so, any good pickup suggestions? Has anyone tried the fishman on the OM models?

Thanks!

Now that the formalities are over...

Only my opinion but... get the OM-05 and do the K+K Western: http://www.kksound.com/puremini.html

After you bring enough donuts to the meeting I'll say

I think it comes with an LR Baggs pickup now. On the Larrivée site, it says it comes with a Stage Pro Anthem.

Another K&K PWM lover here. I have it in both my L05-12, & my DV09. I also suggest the XLR preamp, great combo & I've had no real issue with feed back either, then again, I don't play metal rock, just singer songwriter stuff from back in the day.

      If you buy any guitar with a hole cut in the side, it makes it harder to sell and, in my opinion, it ruins a perfectly good guitar when there is no need AND the K & K sounds better any way. My suggestion is to buy the straight guitar and get the K & K installed.
