Of course, a lot of them also think that a $20 Radio Shack microphone (see the bottom of the page Nick linked to) sounds better than most acoustic pickups.

You might want to browse that forum though:

By the way, that should be Fishman Blender with Mic, not rare earth.]]> Opinions and Polls Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/acoustic-pickups/#post-278963 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/acoustic-pickups/#post-278960 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 02:54:34 +0000 http://www.dougyoungguitar.com/pickuptest.htm

My favorite by far is the Fishman rare earth blend w/mic

Although if you take a listen at the bottom of the page above, you'll be surprised at how good a simple Radio Shack lapel mic sounds. I've used a stereo one before and was shocked at the quality. Nick, Perfect.. thanks. and with sound bytes too... NICE!! :)

I should've asked in my original post.

Would the most likely solutions be to MIC the thing?

I don't necessarily want to do any 'surgery' to this guitar and not like the sound/results.

It did occur to me to spend the money on a mic stand/cables and plug into the board with it.]]> Opinions and Polls Dagwood https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/acoustic-pickups/#post-278951 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/acoustic-pickups/#post-278950 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 02:05:36 +0000 Its a solid Cedar top with Solid Rosewood sides. Its sounds absolutely great. Now I want a pickup for it. I want something that won't change/flavor/alter the sound of this guitar. I want to capture "Its" tone, not a Pickup's tone. Does that make sense? It makes perfect sense.

It's not gonna happen with *any* type of acoustic guitar pickup.

If you throw enough money at it, you'll find some that come kinda close.

How much money are you willing to spend?

Your other alternative is a microphone. Is this for performance or recording?]]> Opinions and Polls Moonrider https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/acoustic-pickups/#post-278950 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/acoustic-pickups/#post-29971 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 01:25:43 +0000
Does anyone know of any COMPARO sites.

-OR-

Perhaps if I mentioned what I'm looking for I could get some input?


As some know, Santa brought me a beautiful, warm, lovely (can't believe I'm using that word) new Epi Masterbilt for Xmas.

Its a solid Cedar top with Solid Rosewood sides. Its sounds absolutely great. Now I want a pickup for it. I want something that won't change/flavor/alter the sound of this guitar. I want to capture "Its" tone, not a Pickup's tone. Does that make sense?

I know more about electrics than I do these.

Any help would be appreciated.
