I need to know the best pickup or transducer to fit a pre-Japanese Epiphone Texan flat-top guitar. I want to plug in to my computer with Cakewalk II and I also want to be able to plug into a stage amp. Wdyat24 |

It hasn't had a good "F" in years, and sadly it doesn't remember me! By the way wd, "Pick up the world" has won raves from a lot of Pros. Fishman Rare Earth Blender, as well. Rick |

I had one fitted on my Ephiphone Vintage Bluesmaster and it sounded double fantastic. |

16 Oct 01 - 11:34 AM (#573398) Subject: RE: BS: Best Pickup Or Transducer For Acoustic From: Mooh Aside from all the wonderful advice above, try the new(ish) Schertler pickup. Mandolinist Chris Thile is said to use it. It is expensive, I think about $400US, but it's supposed to be the next big thing in pickups. I don't know much else about it other than it's available at Stewart-MacDonald (www.stewmac.com) Mooh. |

Just had one installed for a friend of mine by Augustino LoPrinzi the noted Luthier. Man does it put out. Unlike a piezo, the I-Beam will drive your little amp wild at the 2 setting. The L.R.Baggs Transducer is great also. Clean, Crisp, Clear and makes your acoustic sound like it's miked. None of the fuzzy crap you get with some piezo's. |
