That then detects and transfers string vibrations through the saddle into electric current. Undersaddle piezo - By far the most common preinstalled pickup type is placing a piezo pickup underneath the acoustic guitar’s bridge saddle. There are different types of ways to pickup your guitar’s sound from inside the guitar and all have their advantages and downsides.
That’s why an electric acoustic guitar is such a great investment. But live performance requires some practical compromise because venues are often loud, and guitarists often need to stand and move around – neither are suited to a mic placed in front of the guitar. This is still the preferable way to record, and some players even use this method live in a quiet recording environment, a condenser mic is hard to beat for the detail it will capture from your acoustic guitar’s sound. (Image credit: Future) Why buy an acoustic electric guitar?īack in the old days before pickups that could be installed in acoustic guitars were invented, players would place a condenser, ribbon or dynamic microphone for live performance. The Sonicore-based Fishman GT1 also offers simple but effective electro features at this pricepoint. It’s great for blues, fingerstyle and singer/songwriter inspiration. The hybrid of classical and X bracing, bone nut and saddle with Wide Fat neck are also a smart combo for getting enhanced projection from this light and compact guitar. PRS SEs are up there with the best in terms of consistent factory finish quality in the middle of the market and this adds to that reputation. We like the understated satin finish here and the finish options of Vintage Mahogany, Black Top and Tobacco Sunburst are all appealing, coupled with classic herringbone binding and ivory butterbean tuner buttons on the unmistakable PRS headstock.

Read the full Martin 000-28E Modern Deluxe review The results are the best of both worlds organic detail with some welcome pickup attack for the mix. The top here is also given the vintage treatment thanks to Martin’s VTS torrefication process and the custom Fishman Aura VT Blend system uses sound images from miking examples of this model to blend with the pickup. It’s a supercharged 000 with the bass holding its own to the treble and remaining wonderfully touch sensitive.
This is also a lighter 000 than most with a titanium truss rod for strength, but it’s also louder (aided by the carbon-fibre bridge plates, the Liquidmetal bridge pins). The pearl logo, vintage style gold-plated open-back Waverly tuners, flamed maple wood binding and long lasting gold alloy frets all mark the Deluxe edition’s ‘sophistication meets performance’ manifesto. And this is the premium, reworked contemporary example that was released in 2020.
But for us the latter is our go-to choice because of the comfort and intimacy the smaller, shallower body offers. Martin’s D-28 and 000-28 are benchmark acoustic guitars that many others are measured by. Some traditionalists may not like the blingier touches here
