Acoustic pickups?

Post by Raif2032 »

I need to have an acoustic pickup installed in my guitar and I suppose I was just offhandedly going to ask if there are any negative effects to having that done...

Fishman...

Joe B., Fishman's main tech guy, answered me back about putting modified Fishman electronics in my Gibson Chet. He's the one who worked on Dave's guitars.

I've always been told that Monk (Montgomery, Dave's guitar tech) did all of the setup (including pickup installation) of all of his guitars. Interesting to hear otherwise...
