Fishman's Matrix Natural 1 would be a nice piezo to put in it. I put the Natural 2 in my dread sized martin and it has a really nice tone. the Nat 1 would be the best choice for the 000 size because it gives a slight bass boost. I went to guitar center and haggled em down to 100 out the door on my Nat 2. Had it installed by a local luthier for like 40$. I like piezo pickups alot better than sound hole pickups but it just depends on the sound your trying to achieve. If it's a dave sound i'd go with a piezo.
