I use a Taylor 310-CE acoustic guitar, which has the Fishman pickup system. Here is the pickup description on the Taylor website. They are right under the white bridge. http://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/model.aspx?model=310-CE "Taylor Expression System(tm) Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Expression System(tm) utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors(tm) to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Mr. Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound." I have a decent condensor mic for recording, but I hate recording with mics....and I am very happy with this system with the type of tone altering music I am playing. I think it sounds very natural. I am thinking of buying one of the Taylor nylon string guitars as well, different pickup system, but still no condensor mic. In either case, if were playing classical, jazz, or folk, where I'm not using tons of chorus, reverb, and delay on my tone...I would go to a mic. I don't know, what do you think of this tone? http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/krispen (Listent to the sample of the second track, "Places".
