 Lovely sounding guitar and looks great too.

Thanks guys. Tommy loves it. Another happy customer. By contrast, I've almost finished a green dulci strummer in about a quarter of the time. Some gats take forever!

For a true acoustic sound, you can't beat the piezo. With a Twin T filter that you can switch in as needed, it becomes a bit more like a magpup. When Tommy came to pick it up today and quicly checked it out, he loved the sound of the piezo with the filter switched in. But I've got a few magpups to use up so I'll keep adding them if people want it. A magpup has its own personality too (in this case a bit dark because of the way it is mounted) and it's nice to have a whole other world of tone there at the flick of a switch. The biggest drawback of mixing normally mounted magpups and piezos is that the magpup mounting cuts a big hole right through the heart of the soundboard. Putting it under the lid so the soundboard stays intact is surprisingly effective but it will be mellow. Just a piezo to a preamp then to a filter switch is probably the best option.

Beautiful guitar and after seeing the photo, I hoped to hear it.   Nice......  Good playing and demo of sounds.   I am a piezo guy and probably tone deaf, but I think it sounds as good as the humdinger.
