What pickup should I put in my B15 (adj. bridge)?

I need to use this guitar for a couple of songs in my band's set, but I have no idea what pickup to put in it. I want it to be as unobtrusive as possible (no soundhole pickups!) and to be as honest a replication of the guitar's tone as possible.

 

I'm thinking K&K, but I don't know how efficiently the Pure Western Mini would work with the '60s style adjustable bridge.

 

Any advice would be brilliant :-)

i had an alvarez that i put a baggs i-beam in and it had the most, as you say, honest replication of the guitars natural sound. i loved it. you may need a soundhole cover depending on the size of the room and PA. the cost was about $250. is that about 125 pounds? it is an active P/U w/thumb wheel volume mounted on the soundhole.

Thanks CH! The prob with the B15 is that it has a '60s style adjustable bridge (well, a real '60s adj bridge as it's a '68!), so I can't put an undersaddle in it.

 

I've just heard back from K&K though, and I can put a Pure Western Mini in it, and it'll work great!
