.. it is a good idea..

i have a chinese made fender stratacoustic
[strat shape bowl back acoustic with electric guitar neck + piezo pickup]
that i'm fitting
magnetic pickups and tone/vol controls to..

so i'll have independent piezo and true 'electic' outputs to 2 amps..

..however, dont foget a 14 year old guys priorities may be entirely different
to ours..

and teenage girl impressing 'rockstar' image

might be just as important to him
as any of the more functional playing requirements we'd demand..

maybe, should also checkout Xtreme metal and skatepunk guitars !!?


my 13 year old nephew was bought a 'run-of-the-mill' electro-acoustic
last xmas..

which wasn't up to the job of running good through a grunge distortion pedal to meet the satisfaction of tthe school rock band
he was hoping to join..

i dont think his parents took into account what he wanted to acheive..

so now a year later the acoustic guitar is dumped neglected in his bedroom
while he now devotes his spare time to getting in with a skateboard gang..
