L.R. Baggs M80 M80 Active Pickup Magnetic Pickup

Q: I don't want to alter the guitar at all. Can I use the LR Baggs M80 pickup and run a cord out of the sound hole?

I'm sure you could run the cable out of the sound hole but any movement of the cable would probably produce an unwanted sound. There would be a guitar cable end plugged into the pickup wire which is not very long so the connected plug could clang against the pick guard. I was reluctant to modify my guitar but the recommended modification (plug goes into the center of the rear strap thing) is completely invisible, fairly easy to do yourself and wouldn't change the value of the guitar if you ever sold it. I recommend the modification. One other thing to consider if you haven't yet bought the pickup is the passive option. I bought the active one and changing the battery is a real nuisance. You have to loosen all the strings so you can get the pickup out, the battery can't be replaced with the pickup in place on the sound hole.

Q: Does this pickup adjust to Seagull S6 Original? I guess guitars vary by the size of their body holes.

It adjusts to fit a given hole by moving it up or down. On a standard Taylor 110 for example, the pickup is not placed at the widest part of the hole but moved up towards the neck until the width of the pickup snugly grips the sides.

Q: Does it affect the unplugged sound at all? i have the anthem right now and it has made my om28 sound muffled

yes, the sound coming out of the speakers/amp you are using will sound different than the natural acoustic guitar. No one has invented a totally natural acoustic pick-up. I have spent $1,000s trying to get a natural amplified tone and it just ain't happening at this point... That said, I have settled on the LR Baggs M80 for use in 3 of my better acoustics for the time being.

Q: What is an appropriate DC power supply to use with this?

It's powered by a watch battery. You may have to reverse polarity with your equipment(phase)
