Should i cut my guitar or not?
My wife bought me an preamp equalizer piezo/mic pickup tuner for my acoustic guitar but i dont know if i should trust this brand? I am scared of cutting a hole in my guitar and then the whole thing being a piece of junk. I am planning on sending it to a shop to get installed if i do it but i just wanted to ask if any one has ever heard of it. I really dont know the brand name but she got it from edenguitarparts on e-bay. Alls it says is that it is an acoustic guitar preamp eq piezo/mic pickup tuner. Any feedback on an item like this would be greatly apperciated. Let me know if it is worth gouging a hole in my guitar. Thanks
I've installed a few piezo systems and one thing I always stress to the guitar owner is that once I cut the hole there is no turning back. So , I understand exactly where you're coming from. As far as Eden goes I don't really know much about them except that they are a company located in Hong Kong that makes aftermarket guitar parts.I did find a luthiers warning on Ebay about some problems with some of their guitar bodies and necks but nothing really too major. I'll see if I can't paste that page here so you can check it out. Otherewise the best thing to do would be to take the piezo system to a good qualified tech and get his opinion on it's quality. Like you said, you really don't want to install a piece of junk on your guitar, especially if it's a really nice one. There are some good alternatives to cutting up your guitar though. Personally I really like some of the soundhole pickups out there. Dean Markley makes some that are really great sounding. I have a martin guitar with a piezo system and I don't use it as much as I do my Dean Markley Pro Mag soundhole pickup. For equalization I just use a Boss 7 band EQ pedal and it really works great. Besides , I can use the Pro Mag on any acoustic that I want , no mods necessary. So , like I said, take it to the tech and see what he thinks before proceeding. Good luck to ya !
