What is it?
The plight of the live acoustic guitar player is ever present; getting a crowd to quieten down is one thing, actually achieving a pleasing sound from your amplified instrument is quite another. Some nights I still wake to the harrowing memories of plasticky piezo quack in a sparsely populated bar. Because the reality is that the complexities of our acoustic instruments seem ill-suited to the realities of capturing them away from the condenser mics of a studio environment. And yet thankfully innovative designers have persisted and helped us to be heard and sound good.
