Made by Seymour Duncan, called a Woody. Clips into the soundhole very easily, and it's adjustable height-wise. (You could have the p/u nearer the treble strings than the bass strings, for instance.)
Vic I am looking for an elector acoustic but maybe an acoustic will do. Your post was from a few years ago. How did the Woody work out?

I have a Takamine el/acoustic and its one of the ones made before they shipped over to being made in China. The new ones are nowhere near the quality they were, unless you can afford a Japanese one.

I also have a CPX900 the latest from Yamaha and it has a totaly different sound to my Takamine. A sound I prefer to that of my Takamine. Not to say that the Tak isn't as good its just that they are different.

Go to a music shop and try as many out as you can. Its the only way :wink:

As a foot note, for me its not just about how a guitar sounds its also how it looks and feels. I mean you might find the perfect sounding guitar but would you want it if it was in bright lurex pink? :?]]> Opinions and Polls Rodders https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-288066 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-286522 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:42:09 +0000
I think the APX900 has a diferent mic/pickup arrangement. I don't think you'd go far wrong with either. Cool, thats a touch its the same guitar i played!]]> Opinions and Polls dalboy https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-286522 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-286518 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 12:34:46 +0000

I was reading online and there is the APX900 / and the CPX900 which looks really nice:

Dont suppose anyone has any views on these? I liked the APX700 and was wondering if these models up would be even better, although they could be completely different...]]> Opinions and Polls dalboy https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-286517 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-286465 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:41:02 +0000
There's a lot of varying 'ear quality' in that price range. By that I mean that you'll find stuff you like and stuff you hate. My advice - go to every shop you can and try every guitar you can, you might find a real gem. I bought a guitar for £150 odd that I preferred over everything in the shop up to £600 and it happens to be an electro acoustic. A friend of mine recently bought a Yamaha EA for that sort of money (APX5 I think). Unplugged it sounds good, plugged into an amp it sounds fantastic.

Enjoy your search.]]> Opinions and Polls Rich_Halford https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-286465 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-286431 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 21:18:42 +0000

The only problem is I've not seen a single UK music shop sell anything above a £140 'beginners' one. With no pickup. But if you find a decent electrified one, try it out. Interesting suggestion. Everyone and mom makes E-As these days. Going for something different can be fun and challenging. But you'd really want to try a mid- or upscale resonator (Hounddog, some Kellys (mid), Dobro, National) and compare to whichever lower cost/budget version you'd consider in order to get an understanding of the playability, construction and trimbral differences. You may be okay with those differences -- or not. The good news it that budget Asian reso brands that were crap only a few years ago have come a long way up the construction and quality curves.]]> Opinions and Polls gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-286387 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-286368 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:37:02 +0000 Opinions and Polls Scrybe https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-choosing-an-electro-acoustic/#post-286368
