Spaw, I believe we have finally met. Try the amp, this needs the understring pickup, don't think it'll work with a mic. Mine's the Crate acoustic with vocal channel, the cheaper model with fewer bells and whistles. Oughtta hear the blues stride on that baby, pick sweeping from bass up to whiny treble!!!What did you use for a hammer? I need to know.
Remember to turn the autoharp upside down too.
