The Stearman Ralphy Guitar

Ralphy is Ralph best man at my wedding. Made it as a wedding gift for his wedding.

Vinylhed -  I did have some feed back issues. The piezo picks up everything especially the noise out of the amp speaker so the noise was awful. So the piezo is mounted on the neck which runs the length of the body.This means that the out put of the pick up is small and the sound out of the amp is not very large. What it does do is give the acoustic a deeper richer sound. The guitar has a normal output jack as well so it will go into a normal amp. All the bits came from CB Gitty. Has also built a stand alone amp with the same parts and that is alot louder. Will post a vid of that soon.

 

Thanks for the comments, glad people dig it. Don't meet many CB players over here in england.

Great looking and sounding guitar.

I'm interested in the built in amp. Did you have any feedback issues? Did you add shielding?
