Very nice song. I could imagine Niel Young doing this.
I use an MXL V76 with good results. But I don't use it live. I've been tempted to but it's a condenser and I fear it would feed back. That being said, it really does make my guitar sound great. So the next time I do a live gig (taking a break right…
Absolutely beautiful! Which model are you playing, by the way?
Wow! Another great one. Thanks!
Another beautiful song! We (my wife and I) are inspired by your lush harmonies. Great work!
I use the simplest passive Pure Western which cost around 100$ (I'm talking about few years ago). I really don't love on-board pre-amplified systems. The Pure Western is so powerful that you can go straight to the mixer.
Per your suggestion I went to the K&K Sound site. They have a package called the Onboard Trinity System that sounds perfect. It is a combination of the 3 sensor pickup (like the Pure Western) and a microphone. But it differs from other such systems…
Yes, I have read about the iBeam, both at L.R. Baggs and in AG magazine. It sounds like an excellent choice, especially for smaller venues, which is where I play . . . for now. :^)
Thanks for the info!
In the past I've had Fishmans and Shadows, but I don't like the undersaddle piezo sound. So I put K.K. Sound System Pure Western on all of my guitars. IMO it's way better.
I am about to buy a Martin HD28-V. Though I'd rather not I need to put a pickup system in it. Since this will be my guitar for life, in all likelihood, I want it to be the best possible . . . without breaking the bank.
A Martin rep I met in a GC in…
This is Great! My wife and I just started singing together and it's so much fun, we just can't get enough.
Great song here!

- Hi Ken, I put the K&k Pure Western in my 1976 HD28 along with the vintage endpin so didn't have to drill any holes and you would never know it was in unless you plugged in. Works well. Strong with good sound.
