My new favorite rig.

EBMM Majesty > Xotic SP Compressor > TC Electronics Dreamscape > Yamaha THR amp.

Finally found a rig where I can get incredible, INCREDIBLE, tones at volume levels that don't intrude on anyone else's space.

I play the trumpet and I'm trying to learn piano so that I can produce better with my MIDI keyboard.

I play the guitar, keyboard and vocal chords. All not to great though, but I hope to improve.

Interesting find last week, came across this early 60's Guyatone GP-24 sound hole pickup on Craigslist shortly after it was posted, immediately arranged a time to go check it out. It requires no modding to install, it clamps into place with a clip on one side and two little pivoting spider arms on the other, and it's actually very sturdy, doesn't move around at all while playing. It has its own volume/tone controls and an input jack. Sounds fantastic, very clear with lots of tone control, I'll try and get around to recording a tone demo some time this week, I'm currently running it through my MESA Lonestar's clean channel.

Thing looks bizarre, never seen anything like it.

Never ever seen one. Does it get in the way of your strumming?

I haven't hit it once yet but the guy I bought it off of did while he was demonstrating it to me. The control arm pivots too so if it were annoying I could just angle it away a couple more inches. I mostly play fingerstyle on acoustic with my hand near the middle of the sound hole and when I am strumming or using a pick it's not very wild, I don't often shoot very far past the strings.

Definitely a unique looking piece of hardware, will probably use it in our next set, I'm expecting it to draw in some questions from other guitarists. Haven't been able to find much at all about it online. It's kind of like a strange brother to the bizarre B-bender on my brown Tele.
