Recommend a pickup for an Epiphone Chet Atkins SST?

Post by GrateDMB21 »

Does anyone have an Epiphone Chet Atkins SST that you have upgraded slightly with a new pickup? I jus recently bought a Epiphone Chet Atkins SST, it sounds pretty good with the Roland AC-60 I have, but can anyone recommend a pickup besides the standard piezo?

If you want what dave had in his chet, get a fishman natural matrix II. (I believe...someone correct me if I'm wrong.) It still wont sound like dave's guitar though. If thats your intent.

I put a Fishman Natural I in mine. It sounds great. Also, invest in a pre-amp if possible. That definitely helps.
