Difficult this. Back in the 60s/70s, most folk clubs I attended were completely acoustic i.e. no mics and no amps. I have a great dislike for plugged in acoustic guitars. They are very convenient - and practical, but - to my ears - they just don't sound very good. And why anyone would want to record with a plugged in guitar amazes me. A friend of mine has a beautiful £2,500 handmade guitar - but when he made a recording he plugged in. Why?
