Percussive Acoustic Guitar Playing - which product fits best?

[Mr Goodtrip]

Hello there,

I am looking forward to buy a pickup for my acoustic guitar. I am playing "drums" on the body and I perform on lots of stages. Could you please tell me, what set-up is the best choice to make?

Hello Mr. Goodtrip,
For percussive guitar playing, I would recommend either the Anthem SL or the M80.

The Anthem SL would be the more natural and subtle option. Essentially, what you hear acoustically is what you get in the amplified signal.

If you want a more hyped sound, with more percussive attack and snap, the M80 would be the way to go. The body sensitivity of the M80 makes percussive playing sound very pronounced, which many players love for that style.

I hope that helps.
