  1. Great article! A couple of years ago my wife got me a Fender Acoustasonic Tele (Not the kind with a tele body that is hollow and 'acoustic', but a collaboration between Fender and Fishman that has a 'Twisted Tele' pickup in the neck and a full-on acoustic bridge with 4 'acoustic images'. I had been researching options for piezo-equipped guitars and landed on the Fender. Man am I glad I did. It is great for most situations. Worship leaders can have both electric and acoustic sounds at their fingertips, cover band guys can switch between/combine the two and now it has become a part of my sound. Occassionally I will play my LP (not yet piezo-equipped,m but thinking of gettinga GraphTech Ghost unit for it) and I really miss the acoustic sound. Even on really heavy songs, I leave the acoustic on and let the soundguy adjust the mix accordingly. On the cables... I've already gone through two. The cable Fender supplied was A: too short for 'real' gigs and B: broke apart at the 'y' really early on (because of the length of the cable, I was dragging the thing around and stepping on the 'y', so it's a bit of a 'not being careful' issue (but a regular cable would not have crapped out).. the second one busted the TRS end when my guitar fell off my shoulder. Not the cable's fault, but also means I'm out an expensive cable until I can fix it (using the TRS end from the Fender cable...). I've considered the splitter-box route, and even have a trio of jacks ready to go, but cannot settle on an enclosure... If someone made these boxes without a ridiculous price tag, I bet they'd do pretty well. Ric-O-Sound boxes (same thing) are all too expensive to consider.
