McIntyre PickUps
I got this link/recommendation from Eric Lambert ... here's what McIntyre says: "After amassing all of the sample piezo wafers available, we went through a months-long process of elimination; each piezo was put on a guitar, plugged in, and carefully scrutinized until we heard the one which most naturally reproduced the sound of the instrument. In the final analysis what really determines which instrument sounds great when plugged in? The ears of the listener. Apparently, many players agreed with us and our approach."
