Here is my take on acoustic guitar pickup systems: They work for live use, but if you're concerned about your tone recording, buy a good condenser mic and avoid plugging the guitar in.
Well i'm guessing there's something seriously wrong with my Taylor 424CE LTD kao 2007 because it sounds much more balanced when played unplugged rather than over the Expression system thru an amp.
It doesnt sound bad, but i really notice a gigantic tonal difference between unplugged and amplified. Exacly the thing where the ES is famous for eliminating this very problem...
Yes, on 3 different amps. The sound is very dark like playing on the neck pickup on an electric guitar.but when played unplugged, the sound is much more balanced with a far less pushed mid section.
Someday ill make 2 recordings so i can let people hear the difference. But i need to buy a good mic first
Lol :) Well its good that you know what you want. If you really want something, i'm sure you will get it! BTW, the Talor 200 series is also really nice, i played one in a shop and was very impressed :) Greets from the Netherlands
@Powerslider the fishman aura spectrum di will make you very very happy. No pickup can pickup the acoustics of the guitar... only the strings but the aura spectrum will make it
if you get an ES, just make sure you get a new guitar that takes the 9V...there's an older AA battery version that is AWFUL in regards to battery life. :(
hmmm GREAT? I think not, unless you prefer heavy neck pick-up nasal-y tones with absolutely NO bridge sound and articulation.
Stick with Fishman Taylor!
