I really think that only you can answer that.
We talk about classic jazz tone. I think that people are generally
referring to something like Wes' sound, not much treble and lots of
warmth. Sometimes called a "round" sound.
But, that sound is a half century old. It's classic and some people
still use it and sound great. But there are lots of great players who
use different sounds entirely. Scofield, Mike Stern and Pat Metheny
quickly come to mind. Why not sound like them? Or better yet,
concentrate on finding your own voice.
The pickup you mentioned is a great choice -- for somebody. Maybe for
you.

way (equipment) to get it. The point is I have already bought

Duncan SH1 59' model. Was it a good decision?
