My brain is on fire. Learning too much in too little time. By now likely you've read I got a Roland VG-88. I dont' have the special external pickup that lets you get nice acoustic, fhole, or other cool sounds. Nope, still researching and pondering alternatives.
I just got off the phone with a cool rep, Sean, at Carvin custom guitars. I told him a luthier said it would be about $700 to install RMC pickups on my SG. Sean said Carving may be offering GHOST pickups on their guitars in the next year or so. They have prototypes of guitars with the GHOST attached.
Do any of you out there know if the GHOST system is superior to RMC? He seemed to think the GHOST was the way to go and less labor to install.
Here's the site:

Just a thought, but if you want acoustic sound, $700 would buy a respectable acoustic guitar with a pickup.

For sure. Actually, I've played a couple of $500 that I liked. Yet my purpose is to have an all in one 85% solution to playing. With my processor I would not have to change guitars at all or remap my fingering (acoustic may have diff. neck width, fret width, scale length, string tension). Just trying to get a fairly decent solution.
