Best choice for L5S "acoustic" pickup???

[jackthehack]

Just got the L5S back from my setup guy this afternoon; would take and post gallery pics, but need sunlight of which there is none today. At any rate; this puppy sounds so phenomenal just played acoustically I'm seriously thinking about adding an "acoustic pickup" to it; will the L.R. Baggs  T-Bridge drop right in the existing Gotoh TOM setup? Any better ideas?

Can't answer your question but FYI, Fishman makes a piezo TOM as well.

You may also want to look at the Graphtec Ghost pickups - you will just need to buy the saddles so you won't have to replace the whole assembly. The only worry may be getting the right radius as I'd be quite wary of filing down saddles with piezo pickups in them - but maybe I am wrong there and there shouldn't be an issue with doing that?

See pic - Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge; no saddles....

Check it, jack!  http://estore.graphtech.com/gti/aquarius/Itemdesc.asp?CartId={F6835CC6-319C-41B6-92EVEREST61-2E49E8B1D667}&ic=PN%2D8800%2DG0&eq=&Tp=

I've never heard of these things.  You ever use them Octavian?

Oh, sorry.  Shitty web design is the bane of my existence.  https://estore.graphtech.com/gti/aquarius/brands.asp -> Ghost -> Saddle Pups -> bottom of page

I've never used them but I have come across a few good reviews, none if I remember right of the TOM version. Maybe someone else on the board got a chance to try them out?

I'm just starting the process of building a L5s myself. Got Spike helping me make sure it things fit. Any suggestions? Advice? Anything!?!?!?!
