any Guitar Center or Sam ash will install a pick-up for you.. they charge, so you'd be paying them to do a pretty simple proceduer, but it's worth it I guess

check out this thread from the taylorguitarforum: http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/foru ... hp?t=48706

sounds like bone might be best for taylors. dunno what's the difference between regular and vintage. you can probably do a search on the taylor forum and find more info and opinions.

good luck and let us know how it works out for you!

I just bought one for my 000-15 Martin. I'll get it installed when it gets here and let you 15 series owners know how it sounds.

Thats what I keep hearing but when I call and ask I get this half ass answer like

"uh well yea we have a guy that comes in once a week but he does more repair work then stuff like that and we don't know what he charges or if he even does pickups"

Kind of scares me to give him a $1400 guitar to cut up...
