Thanks. I'm just worried that the pickup(s) will detract from the unplugged sound. I really like the sound of rosewood back and sides and the only guitar I have is one with the laminates. So on my budget it's either something like this or the newer model with a cutaway or something like an older Martin D-1 or D-1Gt. I've tried the DRS2 (I think) and the newer D-10E and was not all that impressed and I'm thinking it'd be better to get a guitar without the included pickup if I don't really need one.
