Hi Guys

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a really good acoustic guitar pick up . I'm looking for one that will go in the sound hole and will have a volume and tone control . There seems to be a few on the market so im just looking for feedback good and bad , pros and cons etc on whats out there . The guitar is approx 25 years old with alot of sentimental value and plays amazing so i want something decent for it .

Cheers

I have a sunrise and the matching preamp. Some nice sounds out of it albeit a tad magnetic sounding but zero feedback issues.
