I'm probably going to get a pick up for the resonator & my acoustic dreadnaught and I would like to know what are the best pickups for about $100 us ea that would require no modifications what so ever?

OK maybe just remove the strings and put them on again.

The dread is easy, get a sound hole pickup similar to this.

The reso, though...
Most pickups that I've seen use an endpin jack, which requires some drilling to install.
Perhaps you might try a soundboard transducer, but it probably won't sound as good as a dedicated internal pickup.

but how good does that seymore sound in an acoustic?

Dunno, I don't use a pickup on my acoustic, but that one is just an example.Lots of other companies also make soundhole pickups too.
do do I need to go youtube and listen to a few clips?
good plan.

Also check some online reviews.
And , as always, hang around here a while longer to see what others have to say. Some folks go a few days between checking in here.
