Recommended pickup system for D-03-12?

[guitarjesus]

Just like the title says.  My 2006 D-03-12 doesn't have a system and I gave my Dean Markley soundhole pickup away years ago.   I don't have any real world experience with anything recent.

Depends on what you are doing with it...

My acoustic pickup of choice is K&K Pure Western.  Coupled with a decent acoustic amp or PA, they are "like the guitar", but louder.

I'm with Ed for my pickup of choice.

I'm using an active IBeam from Baggs in my Seagul 12 string.Before my Guild JF30/12 died after 26 years I had a Baggs Anthem SL installed.

I agree.  How you intend to use it is important.  I'm a big K&K fan.  I have it installed in my 1985 L-40 12-string and it sounds superb with not a lot of external eq. to fidget with.  I must admit, I don't have a lot of experience with the other popular systems currently available.  I would stay away from a system that relies primarily on an under-saddle transducer, though.  I think these can be especially problematic with a 12-string.  I say this without proof, but with just some experience in doing repairs and setups, with how these UST's can be fidgety even with 6 strings.

I posted this sound example some days ago. OM 50 - LR Baggs Anthem - Schertler Unico.
