one word, barcus-berry. i have a barcus-berry "maplebar" pickup system on my 72 d-28. it by far has to be the best "stick-on" guitar pick-up i've ever used, and it's also very simple to use as well. i have a tacoma dr-14 acoustic-electric with a very nice lr-baggs pick-up system in it and it isn't far off from sounding just as good. you can give it a try and see what you think.
