Acoustic/electric Design

This Thread

This is the first time I am attaching a URL so I hope it went through. If it did not the guitar I am talking about was a strat that was hollowed out and a top with an F hole was put on. An acoustic bridge was attached with a piezo element.

The questions I have are:

1. Was any wood besids the thin top under the bridge? That is to say how did he glue the bridge down without crushing the top? The top was put on before the bridge.

2. If there was no other wood under the bridge besids the thin top then how did he keep the thin top from bowing up......I saw no bracing. If the answer to #1 is a chunk of wood was left to add strength to the bridge attchment .....then disregard this question.

3. I lost track of this thred......I was wondering how much of an acoustic sound this design has? Does it sound like an electric plugged in on a clean channel?...or does it sound like an acoustic?

I was wanting to try this design but I want an acoustic sound with this electric shape.

Thanks for all the help....I have learned a great deal here!

I don't know how it sounds really, but it won't sound as a clean electric for sure. The piezo transducer system and the hollow body warrant for an acoustic sound. The only question is, how good this acoustic sound is...
