This is a good option as long as stage volume is kept at a reasonably low level. Otherwise, a magnetic pickup (preferably through a tube amp) works well for blues.

What does NOT work well for blues is a modern piezo pickup system. That sound rubs me the wrong way anyway, but in the context of a traditional style of music (like blues), it's like nails on a chalkboard.
