Many
of today’s acoustic guitars come from the manufacturer with
a pickup already installed. Most of these utilize the “under
the saddle” pickup system, in which a strip of Piezo-electric
material is laid literally underneath the saddle, picking
up the vibration of the strings before they even reach the
body. This is good for playing live, but horrid in a studio
situation. The feedback is unanimous from producers and musicians
alike that there is no substitute for a well mic-ed acoustic
– none.
