Acoustic Electric Guitars

Audiences can have a hard time hearing an acoustic guitar over crowd noise. Musicians who prefer the sound of an acoustic instrument can either opt to “mike” their acoustic guitar or buy an acoustic-electric hybrid guitar. These are manufactured by such companies as Epiphone, Fender, Jay Turser, Ovation, Takamine, Taylor, Washburn and Yamaha. Acoustic-electrics look and sound like an acoustic but include an in-built pickup. Typical models use:

Active Electronics: Guitars equipped with active electronics usually have a piezo transducer under the saddle and a battery-powered preamp with three bands of EQ. The additional components add to the overall weight of the guitar and cost more than other options.

A Piezo Saddle Transducer: These lightweight pickups, often used with a preamp built into the endpin jack, allow you to connect to an amp. You will need to adjust tone and volume with your amplifier or preamp.

Dual Source Systems: Dual source systems have a piezo transducer and mike inside the body. They provide a lot of amplification and are therefore ideal for guitarists who pluck strings rather than strumming. However, guitars with dual source systems can be prone to feedback.
