I wouldn't know what I am talking about, since I only had the guitar made and played it for a while.......BUT I say Rio Grandes. NOT that my opinion would be based on having ACTUALLY PLAYED THE GUITAR (and learned what hte acoustic resonance of the guitar feels like). (sniff, sniff) Smell that? It's sarcasm mixed with actual experience. Polls in general like this rarely work. Only someone who has played the guitar can recommend pickups for it. But the HFC is easily the most helpful of any board that I have seen, and kudos to everyone for actually offering advice.
