A first look at Epiphone's Inspired By 1964 Texan electro-acoustic comparing mic'd and direct signals. Visit MusicRadar.com to read the full Guitarist magazine review.
yes a microphone will always be better but...in a full band set up, its not going to happen with out feedback. Fishman eliminated this with the Aura pedal. L.R. Baggs Anthem did it by cutting all the lows out of the internal pickup and using the UST side of the pickup to compensate. Gibson and Martin now use the Fishman Aura or Anthem in their newer line ;)
@TheOriginalZombie1 You have to set the pickup right. The pots are very sensitive. You have to roll back the lows and highs a good amount and move up from there. You cant place the lows and highs all at 12 O'clock and judge from there. The pickups do pick up the top woods very well, hints why the pickup is so sensitive. For a sound guy, this is a great pickup because more of a frequency is better than less of a frequency. Adding a frequency when its not there, causes distortion.
what is it plugged in?

My dad just got me one. It's pretty cool. It's a very good guitar for price.

Don't listen to that guy, yes, this is smaller. The EJ200 is a jumbo, this is a dreadnaught.

@randommiker Epiphone is owned by Gibson....so I find it amazing how they would put a better pickup in the Epiphone.
