Members Sangemon Posted February 4, 2013 Members Share Posted February 4, 2013 A lavalier is designed to be clipped onto clothing in the vicinity of your head. I don't see it being applicable to micing a guitar. Have you considered installing a soundboard transducer, like a K&K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rugge78 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 4, 2013 I see sometimes people who attach lavalier on the soundhole of the guitar. I don't want to install endpin jack bacause I amplify my guitar only few time per year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members acousticdepot Posted February 4, 2013 Members Share Posted February 4, 2013 A condenser will be prone to feedback as well. It will also pick up everything in the general vacinity of the mic ... so get one with a switch.I myself think the undersaddle pickups like the K&K, and JJB electronics Prestige 330 is the best option. I do recommend a preamp with this option. As far as cutting into your guitar, I recommend going down to sears and getting a reamer ... instead of using a drill. If you own a Taylor, you don't even have to do this since they make the hole big enough for a jack ... no cutting required.JJB Electronics Prestige 330 - $50Least expensive (new) acoustic preamp - Fishman GII - $60Good luck with whatever option you go with.
