Best pickup for All mahogany guitar
I have a Martin 000-15S that I have tried the LR Baggs Lyric pickup in and it sounded way too "boomy". I have used the same pickup in other similar sized spruce top guitars with success so I am thinking it has something to do with the all mahogany construction. I am wondering what you guys have used in your hog guitars with success?

To each his own ... I have the LR Baggs Lyric in my all mahogany Eastman AC508M and I love it.

Best? A good external mike.
If it has to be installed in the guitar,then any well known brand that is not a UST. KKK mini is a well regarded choice.

I have a K&K in one of Ted's OM-15 customs and it sounds great. Very natural sounding, plenty of gain, no complaints whatsoever. In fact I have since put them in several of my other guitars as well.

I have a Lyric in my all mahogany parlor and it sounds great - not boomy at all. But, I have heard good things about the K & Ks so maybe that is your ticket. So many variables - hard to know until you try it.
Best, Jayne

I never realized that there were pickups especially suited to a certain tone wood.

The K&K mini in my 0000-15 sounds awesome. Not too boomy. Perfect though my fishman loud box mini.

I'm blissfully happy with the Lawrence Sound Research A-345 in my Martin 0-15, and with the LSR FT-145 in my Harmony H165 (which is also all mahogany). But my definition of "success" isn't constrained by a belief in the myth of "just like my guitar, only louder" (or any other myth).
