I do not want a lot showing in sound hole, and I like easy access when changing batteries out.
thoughts?
thanks!

The D-TAR multisource that came in the New Hartford Guilds is great. I have them in most of my acoustics - all of my Guilds as well as my J-200. Battery pack is internal, but it is unobtrusive and sounds great!
Big thumbs up here. Best sounding system I've heard by a wide margin.The D-TAR multisource that came in the New Hartford Guilds is great. I have them in most of my acoustics - all of my Guilds as well as my J-200. Battery pack is internal, but it is unobtrusive and sounds great!
Only thing is that if you're installing this yourself, Wood, you'll have to drill a a small hole under the saddle to run the UST wire to the circuit board which goes on the bass side of the soundhole. Small price to pay for the best possible sound short of a microphone.

Way back in '02 I was going to give myself a birthday present by finally installing a pickup in the D25.
Then, at the counter in Guitar Showcase, it hit me: I didn't want to have to mess around with reaming out the endpin hole myself, and I wasn't willing let it languish in a shop for however long it took them to get around to it. (It was my only playable guitar at the time).
So while I was wandering around the store mulling over my options I stumbled across this blinged out shallow body cutaway a/e with a "Last of the Westerlys" sign on it.
I tried it on and I could barely even play it (size/depth) but I knew I had to have it.
It was all I could do to tell myself to let it sit there for another 2 days and if it was still there it was a sign from God.
I still get a Honeymoon Moment everytime I open up the case of my F65ce.
If you're not careful the same thing could happen to you in spite of the SC.
No, actually the Dreadnoughts are better for that, but primarily because they're strung with lights instead of extra lights, but that's one of the reasons I had to learn a lighter touch to play it.I think these are out of my price range now but I will tuck it away in my brain for my 55th birthday Are they good for heavy strumming as that is the player I am these days. Maybe some texturing but mostly a strummer. ot that there is anything wrong with that.
