Bill Lawrence PU seems to get positive reviews on here. I have one and I would (and maybe should) offer it for sale but maybe one day I’ll actually get out and use it live  If interested in the BL give Chicken Bone John a holler. Hope that’s helpful Lew |

On the rare occasions I use such a thing I have a Schafer which seems to sound ok and was not expensive.

Bill Lawrence is good. Put one from Chicken Bone John in my parlour, but watch the soundhole size. Even the smallest one needed a bit of modification - unscrewed the arm that holds it in place and drilled another couple of holes to shorten it. Sounds great. Cheap!

There are some VERY cheap ones on eBay. £5-6. Most work ok, but some use unscreened cables and can be noisy.

As Pete says those cheapy Chinese pickups do the job well but can be on the long side for some of the smaller parlour sound holes.
However, Chicken Bone Johns Lawrence A-300 is perfect for what I do.

I can recommend this € 30 pickup: Artec MSP-50 ENN . Excellent for the money!
But if you are ready to spend there is always the Baggs M80.
