I knew that he was lying to me about how much of a hum there was. ;)
I tend to play over the bridge and like the sound off that pickup the best. I also thought about going with an Ibanez acoustic/electric with two f holes. Another one is almost a full size acoustic and also has two f holes. If I'm going to be replacing pickups, I might as well go with a custom job, no? Now I know why people have so many guitars...
