A lot of traffic lately on Pickups - I just came across this gadget in the English magazine 'Acoustic'

http://www.exploraudio.com/livestrings_5_1.htm

It's priced at £65, approx $130 US.

What do you all think?

Cheers Bob

Of course, I have no experience with such a product. That doesn't stop me from offering an opinion. After all, this is the internet. Smile

Given that, it seems like clamping a microphone to the body of an acoustic instrument in the way they're showing on the web site would dampen the vibrations of the instrument.

Easy to knock off while moving around too. Looks kind of like a growth on your guitar. Probably pretty clean for sitting down or maybe recording?
