Best I heard was on an Ovation VXT I shouldnt have sold. Next best was a EBMM silo and then I installed the graphtec system into a PRS EG4 I had. All very usable to give the flavour of acoustic but none ( except maybe the VXT) could be used in isolation.
Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
I looked at K&K pickups, but as they were more expensive than the guitar itself (!), I eventually sourced a passive Piezo from JJB Electronics on Ebay (http://jjb-electronics.com/prestige-220.html), and was very impressed by the results when playing live. I did a recorded A/B of the two recently, and it compares very well to the Faith... sounds very natural, slightly less trebly, and definitely has less of the piezo "quack" that is still slightly apparent on the Faith under-saddle pickup.
Also had the stock piezo bridge on my Parker P-38 electric, which was a great substitute acoustic when played in my covers band, routing through the PA. Sounded particularly good when mixed with my amp tone to add body.
And to finish - Ed Sheeran.... all that money and his guitar still sounds like crap, with a horrible quacky piezo sound, I don't understand it!
Grates as much as the sound.
Nearly as bad as Solder - pronounced Soh-Dur
