Mitch Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Would it work? I know the shape of an acoustic guitar affects the sound quite a lot more than on an electric. Would it sound crappy? what kind of problems would I face? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpm99 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 What do you want it to do? Are you looking for a pure acoustic sound, or do you want it to sound good plugged in? And what do you want to use it for? An acoustic Flying V has been done, and I don't think it'd be much better or worse than that: If you're looking for a good sound plugged in, and you're ok with a piezo pickup, my guess is that it'd work fine. If you go that route, you might just consider something like an LR Baggs X-Bridge that has a piezo element build in. (A number of companies make similar things.) That way it doesn't even have to be a hollow body. If what you're looking for is a guitar that will sound good unplugged, that's going to be a little more difficult. DISCLAIMER: I've never actually done any of these things. I've just researched the topic and played around with some things. So take my advice for what it's worth. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psw Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Danny Ferrington has made lots of explorer-like acoustics...most look better than the above kramer-ferrington...but it is the ability to make a decent sound with piezos that really make some of these things possible.
