I've heard beautiful solid wood ($$$) guitars reduced to sounding like a paper banjo through an amp. That has everything to do with the pickup system used. Many people pick 'how the guitar sounds in a room' over 'how it sounds to the audience during a performance'. You have to spend money to get both. To me, it is more important how it sounds through an amp (or PA).Administrator of the SDUGF

amplifying acoustic guitars and getting a good natural sound is such a pita in a live situation. if you use a sound hole pickup or piezo pup the actual sound of the guitar has very little influence on what comes through the amp/pa in my experience.

It took me awhile to get an acoustic that sounds great plugged in. The one I chose, a Godin, has a solid top on a chambered solidbody, and gets its sound from an undersaddle pickup mixed with Fishman 'images' of well recorded guitars (this is their 'Aura' technology).Administrator of the SDUGF
