`soundhole pickup

What's Hot
rossirossi Frets: 1658
in Acoustics
I have a new PRS parlor which I am growing to adore .Its neck, action ,size and sound suit me perfectly but I was wondering about a soundhole type pick up for bluesy  stuff .The Gretsch  looks  rather groovy but any other recommedations? .I did fit a very basic 10 quid "gold" foil to an old Vintage Zip electric and that sounded pretty good but any suggestions  very welcome .I am unlikely to infest any local bars  for the forseeable future due to age ,health and the Mrs telling me I am too old to get pissed singing the blues in city centres 12 oclock at night  so home use only (probably)
thanks

    Fishman Neo-D passive.

    I had an older Rare Earth passive (well, it was an active originally but the preamp was dead so I bypassed it :) ) in a parlour guitar recently, and it sounded great for slightly overdriven bluesy 'somewhere between an acoustic and a Strat neck pickup' sounds.

    This is the one I use for adding gritty electric sounds in parallel with my K&K pure mini

    Cheap as chips, and also looks quite cool in a retro kinda way.
    Some of the gear, some idea

    I have a Fishman acoustic humbucker I could let you have. I'm looking for about £70.00. Bought for a guitar that never arrived.
