Stairway to Heaven played on a Yamaha 'Silent Guitar'

I didn't know Chevy Chase played guitar.

Do these guitar accept distortion pedals?

@daweller

I don't use them- but I'd assume so. 1/4" output from guitar.

@daweller YES , the steel string version handles distortion rather well considering that it's equipped with a piezo pickup.

Of cause it can't beat a set of good humbuckers, but it's still damn good for distortion or fuzz.

Even the nylon string version can be plugged into distortion, but not very good for the job.

Hi Elfredo, I don't know a lot about live gigs- I'm more of a recreational player myself. I have seen pics of Brian May and Paul Rogers playing it in concert though! Matthias Jabs from Scorpions as well- so if it's good enough for them.. I haven't changed the setup- seemed low enough for me. Doesn't go out of tune much- but I don't do a lot of bending.

[Elfredo]

How would this guitar be at a live gig? Do you think, that the sound would be big and rich enough to play in a big hall? And how is the playability, did you need to change it? And my last question, does it go out of tune a lot? Thank you at advance :-)

[Eug0oglizer]

I bought it used for $450. I think they're $650 or $700 Cdn.
