When I first got my Goodall Grand Concert, I was loathe to put anything IN the guitar, certainly not a battery! I checked out a few soundhole pickups (this was 9 years ago) and between the M1, M1A, M80 and the Duncan Mag-Mic, I liked the Mag-Mic the best - felt it had more of an acoustic tone rather than just the "electric pickup" tone.

I've heard a lot of folks loving the Fishman units, both the Black Angel (?) and the Rare Earth ones, but I haven't heard or played through any of those...

I've never heard of anyone who said, "I finally got rid of that darned Sunrise pickup..."!!!

I like the Mag-mic the best too if I have to use a magnetic. I keep one in my car just in-case something happens to my internal pickup at a gig!
