Hi Richard, I don't have any experience with the gk3 pickup but I did play around with a gk2 for a while on my Taylor. Generally I found the tracking wasn't real good until I switched strings to nickle wound strings. The pickup just didn't seem to like the ph. bronze acoustic strings at all. After using that for nearly a year I got an inexpensive electric (a used Parker p44 about 450.00) and put a Graphtech Ghost system (about 650.00) in it. Wow, an amazing difference! The pickup system cost me more than the guitar did but was well worth it! Since that experiment I've now built a small bodied electric with no mag pickups but just the Graphtech ghost pickups and a fan fret neck. Very happy with it. Graphtech is located in Vancouver and very nice folks to talk to. I'm sure they'd talk to you about your options. I'll part with the Parker if anyone is interested........
