Very good question OP! I've struggled with that for years. I had a K&K Trinity system (dual source) and was not fully happy with my strumming sound although I strum quite lightly. I also had a feedback problem. I tried many different things (change preamps, mixing desk settings, etc.) but the problem remained.
Now I have a Baggs M80. Less prone to feedback but the strumming sound is not really "acoustic" even with frequency adjustment. I feel this is the "best" solution for me now though since if you accept to hear your acoustic guitar sounds halfway electric then it's acceptable. But I must say I'm not satisfied with my strumming sound and have never been. I wish I could come much closer to the strumming sound I get in a recording studio. I know the constraints are quite different but there should be a way... |

Over the years, I've never tried a Sunrise magnetic pickup in any of my guitars and I'd like to know how does the Taylor Expression System (latest ES Version 3 magnetic-based) amplified tone compare to the Sunrise tone? Thanks.

I agree. You can roll off the brightness easily though. I love mine.

I haven't tried the Lyric but it seems to have the nicest tone for strumming (going by the demos online). The only thing holding me back is the fact that it apparently lacks the bass that many of us have become used to with other pickup systems. I had thought of getting one and matching it with another pickup but magnetics just sound too electric for me and I don't ever want to use a UST again. That leaves a SBT. However, I am not really sure how much bass it would add to the signal and at this point, the results of matching the lyric with a SBT haven't really been fully tested. I know Doug Young matched the two together but I would like to hear more sound clips before going that route.
