I have one of those deals that just straps over the soundhole, under the strings. Its a fishman and it sounds decent, also they are priced fair. Good luck

Check out Dean Markley Pro Mag and Fishman neo-d. I play the fishman and through an amp it sounds pretty good, not fantastic but you get what you pay for. I wouldn't recomment the neo-d straight into a pa unless you are using a direct box.
