Hey team - need to decide on a pickup for my acoustic. It's an old Ibanez (1979 A340 - fun fact, my brother has the exact same guitar and year but with different back and sides)
Will replace the endpin with an output jack (hate the look of cables trailing out of the soundhole) but other than that would like it to be as non-invasive as possible.
Doesn't need any controls or preamp as I just picked up a Boss AD-3 to handle that side of things.
Budget is below $200 - usually I'd shop second hand but there doesn't seem to be any...
Keen to hear recommendations!

Re: Advice on Acoustic Pickup
Got a Lyric if you're interested. Currently installed in my Lowden but it's not working for the bigger gigs so I'll be replacing it. I've really liked it over the years, but it needs some EQ to sound right, and it doesn't have a lot of bass. Boss AD3 would be an excellent match I imagine.
