This is exactly the rig I use. I have an LR Baggs Venue added for a little extra, but I don't know that it does much.
It works well, but I should preface that with what I'm asking it to do, which is amplify me playing solo fingerstyle jazz and blues. I have a Heritage 575 which I've modded over the years to be as clean and acoustic sounding as possible (Alumitone p/u, shaved braces, single piece bridge, and other noodling).
As far as playing in a group, this isn't the way. I was in an organ trio and also with a band with horns and used a Polytone, which was barely adequate.
