I'm hoping a few of you have a non bias view on guitar pickups. I have
very little ability to compare them since you pretty much have to
install them in your guitar before you can test them out – so help me
if you can ☺

I need to install something with at least a little control or get some
other way of controlling volume at minimum. I want to install one in a
1978 Alvarez Yairi Super Abalone and another in my Martin HD28. I
finger pick a little hard, strum a little weak and play mostly folk
rock along the lines of James Taylor or Croce sounding mixes.

Budget isn't to much of a concern but I don't want to spend as much as
the guitar is worth but punching holes in my guitars is out of the
question (as far as pre amps in the side is concerned). I have seen
the K&K but from the pictures it looks a little cumbersome to have a
pre-amp sticking out next to your strings.

Thanks in advance guys
