I have the natural I. I like the Natural II a lot though. If you have the money, go for the more expensive one.

When I went shopping for them, the Nat. II was like $40 dollars more than the Nat. I

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": Dr. Peter Venkman: I make it a rule never to get involved with possessed people. Actually it's more of a guideline than a rule.

It depends on your guitar and how you'll be playing it.

When i bought mine for my chet, i got the high output one, and the other wasn't as high output....i don't really remember which was which, but play with a band alot so....

Fishman's website says what body types fit the pickup best, but i heard the higher output was better for amping with a band so i got it, havn't been disappointed
"i ran out of boxers.. so i started wearin shorts.. ran out of shorts and now im on my last bathing suit..."

I had the natural I installed this week, it sounds fantastic, I am totally happy.

Thanks for the advice.
