thank you so much for all the precious infos, now i must digest all this. do you think it's more affordable to get a good pickup system and adapt it on my actual guitar or to buy a nylonstrings guitar with a good system already installed in it? another question: do some of you happen to play directly on the venue's speakers? sounds risky to me but it's hard to travel by plane with the kind of amplification you recommend ;) ________________________________________ Stéphane Obadia http://www.clumsybeats.org | > I think its worth checking out this stream of wolfgang muthspiel - gig: > > http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/jazzon3/pip/v8iv5 > > You need to forward it for about 30 - 40 minutes, when muthspiel picks up > his > acoustic for the first time: here he works with some loops. > As far as I know, he is using framework - guitars: > > www.frameworks-guitars.com > > can´t afford them.
