    I've used and installed many pickups over the years but only recently the LB6. This is hands down the best I've tried. String balance is not an issue with this pickup. It is very resistant to feedback and It has enough output to be used without a preamp and it will sound like your guitar. If you do want onstage volume and tone control, the LR Baggs Para acoustic DI is one that I can recommend. It is small, simple to use, can be powered by battery or ac adapter and many sound men I have encountered seem to like this one. Also, the customer service guys are great if you need help. It does require an 1/8 inch wide saddle slot and can be a bit tricky to shape the saddle for proper intonation and action/FB radius. So I suggest professional installation. Some other preamps that I've tried and really like are the Boss AD5 and the Tonebone PZ Pre. The AD5 has a nice built in reverb and foot switchable chorus. The Tonebone has a cool boost channel and some othe input and output features that make it very flexible.

    Yes, it does and I think it requires the drilling of a hole.

    It will fit. I don't know how you would wire it to another pup.

    I own a 1974 vintage Ovation Glenn Campbell, shallow bowl Acoustic guitar, with saddle similar to that shown for this product display. I am looking for electronic pickup that does not alter "look" of the original sound hole. Will this pickup work without major modification (routing) of saddle?

    You may need to modify the saddle (Using the one that came on the guitar may raise the action) and drill a small hole for the wire to run through the bridge.
