Any tips about finding a pickup to strap or stick to the outside of the guitar body? Anyone use one of these?

the soundhole on the parlor is too small for a std. in-hole pickup, and I don't wanna be drilling no holes.

Noticed how Eddie Kamae has one stuck to his uke with a (rubber strap?)
in the Sons DVD.

I use a Fishman Rare Earth blend in my parlor. Fits just fine. When I bought a different soundhole pickup to try it would'nt fit, though.

I use the California Lace pickup in my parlour guitar. It has an extra small soundhole and this fits fine. However, I would suggest that if you have the budget, just go with the Fishman. It is a better product overall.
