There is a stupid amount of acoustic pickups out there and picking the right one out can be confusing. I've demo'd a ton of guitar pickups over the last few years piezo, contact, mics, magnetic, etc. and so this video is a summary of everything I've learned. While undersaddle piezos notoriously sound bad, for the person playing on very loud stages, this is a good option. For those on quiet stages, we have built in instrument mics. For those that need something in the middle but still require a good sound, there are contact piezo mics. For the lead guitarist or someone who needs a very full and rich sound, magnetic.
