There is a third option, like my Yamaha AEX 500 hybrid, piezo in the bridge ( same as in the APX ac/electrics ) & mini-humbucker neck pickup: onboard eq for the piezo + a blend switch allow full acoustic or electric sounds, or any mix of the two - with its wound 3rd, it's been my trusty gig workhorse for 20 years, does everything from folk/blues to jazz very effectively.
