Guitar Pickup



Sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseum, but what's the guitar  
pickup all the cool kids are using these days?  I have a Seagull cedar  
acoustic that plays really nicely and has a pleasant-but-average  
tone.  I'm interested in processing the signal before it gets to my  
looper, and would like to be able to pick up taps and other percussive  
slaps on the body of the instrument.

While we're on the topic, what you think of the new crop of 'acoustic  
guitar' processors that are on the market (e.g. the Fishman stuff,  
Korg, Boss, etc.)?  My original plan was to loop with my electric  
basses, but my singer-songwriter groove is coming back, and maybe the  
guitar will be in my path as well as a bass.  Then again, an acoustic  
guitar with an octaver makes good basslines.

TIA,
Scott
