Hi

Last March I purchased a nice little acoustic. It was available in standard or built in electrics. I decided I didn't want to spend the extra money on the electric as it would just be used in house.

It now has a pickup in the sound hole. What I didn't consider was that playing with others can be difficult when there is a drummer and bass player in the room.

So for me, it's not about sound. It's about being heard in certain conditions.

In terms of quality of sound I would suggest that is totally subjective. But if I were doing it again, I would have spent the extra money.
