theres plenty of choices... you can have a pickup system installed, or you can just use a soundhole pickup. whats your price range?

just get a 241E, it has a form of the expression system in it, has taylors tone controlls, and its only $200 more than a 214. so itll equal the cost of getting one added, without then cutting out a chunk of your guitar.

How large are the venues you are playing at? If they are small(low volume) you can get some very natural sounding pickups for a reasonable price, but If you plan to play louder you will have to shell out the cash.

Maybe he doesn't have the extra 214 at this moment, and a more viable option would be to get them installed down the road.

cut out a chunk for a preamp... cut out a place for a jack, wire the inside, mess with the bridge... itll be expensive... id seriously recomend geting the 214E.

average at best. savin up for the ce is good, but having the matrix installed shouldnt be ruled out as an option

i know itd be good, but getting the fishman is like $120, and the preamp will be some, and installation will be a good bit.... itd be cheaper and sound the same if not better to get the pickups preinstalled.

ugh, 1000 dollars, dang, is it wise to just get it with no E? no huh? i'll have to save up i guess... is it even worth the money? any guitar you would recommend over 214E?

mangold · Unread post by **mangold** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:27 pm

id would highly highly highly recoment the Larrivee L-03. you can get it with the electronics too if you want, it may be a bit too pricey but id check ebay.
