is there a way to set up the chet to sound totally like an electric? sound like a les paul or somehting so you can do lead stuff with it?

If you get a electric amp and put on the drive channel you get a good Baritone sounding guitar. A few effects.

I think chets sound like shit. And its important to note that even if you put in a fishman, you will not get anywhere close to Dave's sound. Along with the internals, Dave's signal was tweaked 120 different ways from Sunday. I would definitely recommend a $1500 acoustic electric over a chet. Light years ahead in terms of sound quality. They are the most overrated guitars available for purchase, in my opinion.

I choose my chet over my HD 28v, or any of my guitar for that matter. Its my favorite guitar. plus I got a Patrick Roy sig in there so it means a lot to me.

I have always wanted to try the Les Paul acoustic (same thought as the chet, but gibson les paul style, and VERY expensive). I havn't tried one, but if I ever get the chance, YAY!

I guess I could see how you might do that for playability's sake, but sound quality? Wow.

mbgreen, I personaly think they sound great. Like I said, I played a Gibson through an acoustic amp at Good & Loud Music, and it sounded like a real acoustic, and if I had the money to throw around, I would have bought it. I think it really does stand up and sounds like an acoustic going through an acoustic amp.

Im not saying its a complete turd, but I think the money would be better spent on something else. The sound just doesnt resonate the same way in my ears. I have heard them through decent amps. Dave's sounded great...it was his signature sound. But the others I have heard were lacking in comparison.

Micheal, you can get a very similar sound out of a basic chet through a electric amp. That is what I do. I got the "perfect" treble/bass ratio and it does sound similar. plus, it is MY guitar. its my speacial boy. my first real big guitar. soon after I got some great guitars, but none share the love I have for my chet. I realize, when I play, that my other guitars do, in fact, kick the living shit out of my chet. I just love my chet so damn much lol. its MY guitar. plus the Patrick Roy sig makes it extra extra speacial.

If a new Chet costs around 1,500 then you are in the range of the Turner renaissance line which are IMO head and shoulders above the Chet.

i love the chet, ive played allot of them, i played the epi thru an acoustic amp it rocked, played a bigson thru a trace eliot and it was the most heavenly thing ive even heard in my life.

I dont see why people diss the epi so damn much. I mean, yeah its not a Gibson, but I have both and I dont have any complaints. Of course my gibson is my weapon of choice, but I feel safe with my epi.

Well, for the epi, they aren't bad, but not great, nothing to invest in. But not bad. I would say buy the epi for now, to get the guitar now, then save up money, and trade the guitar in with the savings for a Gibson. So, you like the guitar, and you are able to play it, and eventualy get the great sound.
