Hey Charles, forgot to ask. Did they ever make the GL-36 with a pickup? Mine has a pickup. Not a piezo but nice install with a jack back pin, with some kind of pickup underneath the bottom of the bridge. looks old. Next time I change the strings, I will try a get a pic of it. And works good...

Not that I have heard of. My guess is it's a music shop install or user install.

Yup, most likely an after-market installation. I've done a lot of them at the shop on everything from el Cheapo brands to Martins.
The most common type is this LR Baggs

There are others around which are more complicated (read: "expensive") but this gets the job done very nicely for most folks.

Sounds like a good modification. I use one of these ugly suckers if I want to plug in an acoustic:

Yeah, I have a sound hole pickup as well made by Artec which I can use on three of my acoustics including the ED Dove.
Mostly though if I want amplification it's quicker to grab one of the Ovations than fiddle with installing it.
