I have the Neo its not that great. I usually just end up using a Mic until I can get an internal fishman installed. If you need a sound hole pickup get the rare earth and spend a little more money IMO.

would the amp raise the quality of the sound even if the pickup were low end? the amp would blow most of the coin i have to spend on this stuff, so a better pickup isnt really an option

amps dont raise sound quality... auras raise sound quality. ifn you must get a cheaper anp and a decent pickup, the amp is only as good as the guitar, and teh guitar is only as good as its pickup
