I really recommend you give Mac's advice a serious consideration. I too was looking for the holy grail of sound, keeping in mind your personal touch plays a huge part. I have a Tanglewood C45 that has great acoustic sound and action. I played 6 of the same model before settling on my choice. As I said acoustically the sound is great! However the pickup sound sucked big time. On this same forum Mac recommended the LR Baggs I Beam pickup, so I bought one. I simply removed the Fishman piezo from under the bridge, installed the Baggs and connected it to the Fishman controls. The sound is great. Sometimes I D.I. it, sometimes I D.I. and mike it, and sometimes I play it straight through my amp. I any event any configuration I use my guitar sounds great. Thanks Mac.
