I just purchased a Taylor K55 all koa body custom guitar. I currently have a 855 with a Fishman pickup. The K55 has no pickup installed.

I play in a contemporary Hawaiian music band. There's 4 of us in the group. The makeup is two acoustic guitars, electric bass, and a drum track, and 3 part vocals. It can get pretty loud in our monitor mix at times, and we play some large venues. Shows can range from 100 - 2000 headcount.

Our regular gig PA setup is a Mackie 1604 with Community speakers and monitors. Sometimes I gig thru my Trace Elliott acoustic amp, and sometimes I just go straight to the board.

With all this in mind, can anyone recommend a good pickup for me to have installed on the K55? I do NOT want to cut out part of the side for any electronics, so all hardware was to exist within the guitar itself.

mahalo!
