Anyone have any suggestions on acoustic tuneomatic bridges? For example the Fishman Powerbridge, the LR Baggs model, the Ghost. Or what about acoustic modeling pedals like the Fishman Aura series? I've heard Midi pup systems sound pretty bad ass, but that kinda system ain't never gonna come from my wallet. So what's up?

I get pretty accoustic sound using two humbuckers,both in split mode and in the middle position on the switch

Re: Making an Electric sound acoustic.
In a few more posts, you guys are gonna want to shove this Invader down my throat . . . but it has an amazingly acoustic quality when split to the outside coil. (Closest to the bridge.)
Run it through a Johnson J-Station acoustic model . . . even better.
I need to post some clips.

Best thing you could do is get any of those bridges for your Strat and then get a DTAR MAMA BEAR to plug it into.

my Godin Solidac has a LR Baggs 2 post trem in it.... it sounds great thru a Fender Acoustisonic amp.... I was going to stick a Fishman 2 post bridge on my American Standard strat but then i figured out the cost of the bridge, the preamps, and the tech time and just bought a Godin instead... Besides the Solidac starts at $769 for Black finish in Canada... the next model i want is called the Godin XTSA... it has a different bridge and better preamp and they sell for around a Grand...
oneday i still hope to put a Fishman on my USA strat

Re: Making an Electric sound acoustic.
Any EQ unit can be used as an acoustic simulator.
Also, here is how I ballpark it when I don't have one of my equalizers hooked up:
Turn on either neck+middle or neck+bridge (depending on the guitar).
On the clean channel of the amp, turn down every parameter, except max the treble (and presence if available).
Then slowly increase the volume until it is comfortably audible without screeching.
Finally, slowly add some bass but avoid any rumbling.
It doesn't sound exactly like an acoustic, but it lets me effectively strum through any unplugged song. In case you're interested

Re: Making an Electric sound acoustic.
A piezo pickup will bring an electric closer to an acoustic sound. I've also used 10 band EQs to get an acoustic sound from my solid bodies before. It basically involves a big boost at 8khz and 120hz with everything inbetween scooped. The big difference is in the treble frequencies though. I think the natural brightness of an electric guitar is at around 5khz, and the natural brightness of acoustics is above that range at around 8khz.

Actually, its a bridge Invader. And I just bought a Jazz neck a few days ago from the Trading Post. :sad:

The ac-2 is a glorified EQ pedal with more noise.
