I finally broke down and did it. I installed a pickup in my guitar today. It's a piezo transducer. Nothing fancy at all. But at least now I can plug in
!HOORAY! And the best part is there no extra holes or anything. I just replaced the endpin.
New Pickup

Cool! What kind did you use? It's really fun to electrify your acoustic. It sounds completely different. I like putting a little reverb and chorus in the sound! :cheer:

That's the way to go Andy. You can always EQ the guitar with outboard gear.I finally broke down and did it. I installed a pickup in my guitar today. It's a piezo transducer. Nothing fancy at all. But at least now I can plug in

Kenny, No doubt. I have Guitar FX 3.04 and it is excellent. It costs $20. I can use any one of 13 different effects piled on top of each other 16 tall. So I can have 4 EQ functions each one tuned differently, Wah Wah, Delay, Flanger, Chorus, Echo, Delay, 4 different kinds of distortion... All very cool stuff. I plug my guitar into my notebook with the software, then plug the PC into the amp. Instant joy. Talk about a kid in a candy store! Now I have all the effects I'll ever need and still be on an acoustic so I can go anywhere with it. The best of both worlds.
I've been playing with it for the last 3 or 4 hours. I am really happy with this now. It made my Tak into about 50 other guitars!
Look out Ajay! I'm coming after those electric lessons!

Yeah, I have to design and build a new carry case for everything now. A setup where I can plug in my notebook computer and just flip open a couple of lids, pull out my axe and plug it in. Hmmm.... A sound system on wheels.... Got me thinking now.. Gotta do some design work.
