Thanks for the reply. Before you wrote, I got Baggs M1A units for both the old D-28 and a 40-year-old Tak 12-string. The pickups worked well, but I hated the pigtail (and did not choose to drill either instrument for a strap-pin plug). Finally (last week) bought a Taylor CE414 that sounds great and plays very well, which I will use for recording and gigs (never liked taking the older instruments out anyway, fearing they'd get broken -- or get legs). The Taylor has just been set up by an Austin luthier (Erlewine, though I also like Bill Giebitz a lot), and I'm looking forward to a studio session next week.
