    What's the view on real-world feedback rejection on those? My experience of internal gooseneck mics is that claims of feedback rejection are usually overstated. The Donnell sounds awesome on the youtubes I've watched though.
    My experience of playing live in various small venues in a band context is that generally any kind of microphone inside the guitar is the last thing you want, and if you do have one with a blend control, the best setting is either with the mic off or so close to it you might as well not bother.

    Feedback - which the audience definitely will notice, immediately - is a far bigger enemy than not getting that perfect acoustic tone… which they won't. Maybe at a proper acoustic gig with a nice PA, quiet stage and a soundman, it might be different.

    Indeed, although I'd always opt for a nice external mic in that setting anyway.
