the mic is built-in, and the piezo comes with it.

@Matt P I had exactly that one, in a twelve string acoustic I suspect that its a clone, but it works just fine and the tuner is good. Its quite easy to leave the tuner on, flattening the battery One thing I would say is that you need to be careful how much wood you remove to fit the swing battery design, but thats true of all those ilk. I mad e a cardboard template first, then cut out to that. One thing, I did not like the rope coiled wire pickup it came with, I bought an artec 12 string "solid bar" pickup on ebay, as I prefer the saddle to have a solid base, the rope coil style was a bit squishy

Yuck Yuck Now I won’t get that picture out of my mind

I heard him playing the original in a concert on YouTube and it sounded mighty. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one wherever it was made

Isn’t there a sticky thread about people who makeit guards to order?

welcome smudge, I'm from suffolk originally but have an essex partner.

are you talking about the relocation, or the passage of 56 years ?

I’ve lived there. Went to college now a polyversity

I’ve got the vintage stingray clone and it’s really good

My “spider” branded one was exactly the same. Duff saddle pickup , or poor pre amp would be my bet. Look on eBay for a fishman clone preamp would be my recommendation - I put one in a twelve string and low E sounded mighty. It may suit a bass too, it only cost £20 delivered so not a bank breaker to try. Artec do decent bass under saddle pickups so maybe try swapping that first

Only ever once, and that was top G on an acoustic 12 string (a 12 string isn’t really a guitar as such, so I don’t feel dirty to have owned one)

That’s what pulled me in bear in mind that with a preamp you can get a conjoined tuner and that’s quite handy

Indeed-big exclamation mark

To me ? No

I have one to sell

I would start by putting some sanding sealer on

Bryan Adams reference - a song much requested by troglodytes

Summer of 69 ? Hmm

they are, but if I recall correctly their bass player is norwegian

Who TF is "Buddy Guy"? - arriviste no-name loser ... he probably knows three chords if we are lucky

great music and I had a massive thing about Wendy Smith

And if your name is Harley....

Stealth pickup ...

now thats a good idea...

definitely needs some tort
