anyone got any advice on where to look or what to look at,
in terms of detachable acoustic guitar pickups?

cheers

Generally I'd go for a piezo pickup that goes under the
saddle, or an internal microphone (more expensive). I bought
a used acoustic that has an old EMG under the saddle and it
sounds great. Sorry I don't know the model. :-(

The problem with the detachable electromagnetic pickups is
they don't respond to bronze so you can have a hard time
getting a natural / balanced sound out of them. If you
really must have a removable one make sure you can adjust
the tilt of it and the height of the individual pole pieces.
But a saddle piezo is much nicer and doesn't interfere with
your tone as near as I can tell.
