PUTW flamenco pickups.

I have been searching for years for a decent acoustic guitar pickup that meets the needs of the flamenco player. Finally I stumbled into Pick-up-the-world model #40 pickups. They are ultra thin twin strips that go inside the guitar under the bridge. The sound is amazing. You can get the golpes and rumba slaps that before you needed a microphone to pick up. Very evenly balanced and very clear tones with no harshness and trebly sounds.

I am running the guitar into an Roland AC-60 stereo acoustic amplifier. It has reverb, echo and chorus effects built right in. Very lighweight adn compact but packs a big tone. Not boomy or trebly just smooth sound like you hear in your living room with an amp.

Together, these will make my playing much more enjoyable.

Here is a link to the pickup manufacturer.
