Re: help me choose between two different acoustic guitar pickups

The guitar I'm likely to purchase will not come with a pickup, so I need to buy one. I'm not a fan of piezo pickups, never ever liked them, so I' thinking about something like the i-beam or PUTW #27. I know many of you have experiences with them, so please tell me what you like better about one or the other.

My playing style is a lot of fingerpicking, but also hard strumming... I'm pretty heavy handed when I'm strumming. I don't use a pick, just my fingers (both fingerpicking and strumming).

Comments appreciated, thanks!


First of all, i-beam, PUTW and K&K are all piezo pickups, albeit, very good piezo pickups. I would consider the PUTW 27 (assuming that's the size for your guitar, you didn't say) or K&K mini Pure Western first.
