That's my finding to, with the DIY Poor Mans Sustaniac I mocked up.  
Ted, do you think the electro-acoustic type that you have is in some  
way better than the magnetic (the Stealth Plus)? I'm not sure I can  
play a Telecaster with some extra weight added to the head stock.  
It's already incorrectly balanced as the stock default version. One  
thought, but you need to verify it by hands-on experience, is that  
the electro-acoustic one can be nicer to play because it works on the  
wood of the instrument in a mechanical way?

I was going to buy one and a friend in Sweden should pick it up for  
me at NAMM. But he forgot about it. A test review was scheduled but  
never happened because I didn't get my hands on one.
