Put phosphor bronze acoustic strings on that beaut, light or medium gauges, that'll rock the piezo just well.

This is from an acoustic tutorial I've found on PG, but I think it's very helpful in this case: Bridge placement

Beautiful guitar.

Why, it is fun!

You could just put the lil' amp in a box and clip it on your guitar strap.

It's over now.

Man, and you made that awesome V with that?! Hats off, Wes!

Just wondering, I started off playing blues....soloing and improvisation stuff

Exactly the same here.

Yes, I do not like that kind of sound. So what? I'm not your god who tells you the truth, these are only my opinions and feelings. I'd be glad if you would build that full maple guitar you want. I'm not a barrier in your way, don't be so piqued.

Silicon diode's got 0.7 V, Germanium diode's got 0.3 V activation voltage, and they've got a much more "softer" clipping curve. But these things are already realized in distortion pedals.

Man, you shouldn't take that as an offence... I meant that the recipe is simple: take a hard piece of wood, throw a humbucker on it and you'll get that sound. Those men still have awesome skills, but the body material isn't that critical for that kind of sound IMHO.

LOL poor me...

I've read somewhere that Fender started to make rosewood fretboards 'cause they've seen their guitars on TV and the neck was full of muck and thus looked disgusting. LOL

I don't want to sound profane, but I didn't notice anything special in that highly distorted and saturated guitar sound. I know, I know, I'm a tone deaf ****.

LOL!

My question is: WHY NOT?

His guitar, his choice.

Many women uses hair dye, altough you can easily notice that that isn't their natural color. Someone laughs at them too, others propose them marriage.

I'd use mahogany. Don't be afraid of muddiness, that kind of sound comes from the shorter scale (usually Gibson's 24 3/4"), not from the wood. For example, lots of mahogany bodied strats and teles out there, even thinlines, and they don't 'suffer' from that muddy effect, moreover, they have that nice sustain and resonance that mahogany allows.

What about something like this?

Does fingerpicking count?

Whoa! Thank you Saber and Brian!

I need the wiring for 3 pickups with 3 individual on-off switches and 1 volume + 1 tone pots. I've seen that configuration on early Schecter strats, and would be nice to make that mod on my axe.

I gotta love that acoustic bridge-idea on #1 tho. with a compensated silver saddle... hmm...

Wouldn't that cause some intonation problems due to the saddle's opposite angle (bass side will be the shorter scale while treble side's the longer) ? Except if it's a classical acoustic with straight saddle.

Push-pull pots maybe?...

...If your a little adventurous and want the best of both worlds, you could open up the pot and cut the carbon film at the CCW end so that it's completely open when turned totally CCW.

Thanks Saber, that's a good trick!

I don't know if this question already appeared or not, but here we go.

For me it's .012 - .054's for electric and for acoustic also, but for electric I use a plain .024 for 3rd.

I do not know about other nations, but here in Hungary we call the B note H. Germans also do this way, if I'm correct.

LOL, and what you name Bb there, that's simply called B here. Just for simplicity, you know...
