It sounds even better through a PA system or Keyboard amp with a good high frequency tweeter/driver system.įor what I paid for the JP6 though, you could buy a pretty good electric and a pretty good acoustic with built in preamp and still have a few bucks left over but after owning the JP6 for about 4 years now, I couldnt' imagine living without it (or rather living without the STELLAR quality of a USA made Music Man product)Īnyways, the best thing about the JP6 is being able to flip between electric and/or acoustic on the fly and when you're on the pezio system, there is zero feedback or hum that I used to get with my Alvarez acoustic when trying to play live (even with the feedback blocking sound hole thing) Then into the PA or an effects processor then PA. The guitar (ernie ball JP6) running into an LR Baggs Paracoustic DI box
Most of my live playing is electrics but occasionally I would do acoustic shows with me, a singer and a percussionist. I ended up getting an electric w/built in peizio pickup saddles. So, while I may someday have both of these options available to me, for now I have to choose. I kind of regret that now, but hindsight and all that.Īnyone want to comment on their own experiences in this regard? Or just offer some opinions?\ĮDIT: I suppose one answer could simply be, "Do both." But for now, I'm on a budget, and can really only afford one or the other. I used to own a Variax 700 (the acoustic-looking model) and sold it because I simply wasn't playing / using it enough. This is a problem that I should have had solved.
#Piezo bridge for electric guitar full
On the other hand, in a full band performance situation, the ability to (a) need fewer instruments, and (b) be able to switch between acoustic and electric sounds quickly is appealing, and definitely would have some value.
I've listened to some examples of piezo-enabled electrics, and they're certainly convincing, tone-wise, but obviously I lose the ability to play actual acoustic music, something I wish I could do more. Obviously, there're pros and cons for each scenario. I'm in need of an acoustic sound for some of the stuff my band and I cover (and also for the occasional coffee shop duo performance with my lead singer / rhythm guitarist).īut the real question is whether or not it would be more effective (or useful) to go with just getting a decent acoustic-electric (I've been eyeing the Taylor 214ce, have tried several models and really like the sound / feel of those instruments) or whether I should do what I've wanted to do for a long time and get a piezo bridge installed in one of my guitars. Thread title pretty much states the quandary.
