Best value acoustic pickups

[Slimboy Fat]

Hi I'm looking for a good quality/cheap acoustic pickup. Is there anything better than the Seymour Duncan Woody XL for the price? All opinions appreciated muchly.

Dean Markley Pro-Mag. Pretty much the same as the SD. See which one you can get for the best price. I'd avoid the very cheapest Fishman soundhole pickups but the more expensive ones are great.

The Lace California soundhole pickup isn't at all bad--better than most at balancing the B string. I use one with a Boss GT-3 and get pretty convincing plugged in tones on my Carvin Cobalt acoustic. They can be found at Guitar Center every now and again for around $50 when they run a special.

In my opinion, no. SD Woody would be my first choice, for the mnoney well over the Dean Markley.

After that, a Fishman NeoD...but its higher priced.
