Members Misha Posted September 21, 2010 Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 Well, as you know, I was looking at devices to record my acoustic guitars since I didn't had any with a pickup... I think I found a solution today: I found a brand new L.R. Baggs pickup for 340$ CAD. Actually, the guitar was also included! There's even a P90 bundled with it! I also got new strings and a stereo cable... Here are the specs: MODEL NAME Crafter SAT-QMMS BODY STYLE Slim Arch Top body Design TOP Spruce Arched Top BACK Solid wood SIDES Solid wood BRACING Acoustic Sound Chamber NECK Mahogany WIDTH AT NUT 1-11/16" FRET BOARD Indian Rosewood SCALE LENGTH 25 1/2" NO.

Members recordingtrack1 Posted September 21, 2010 Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 P-90. that's interesting! It sure is a purty shade of blue!!! Congrats Misha. RT1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted September 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 Thank's!! I tried it with a Fender tube amp first (Fender Deluxe, I think...) it sounded good but I asked if I could try it with an acoustic amp. We went to the acoustic department and I plugged the Crafter into an SR Jam 150 amp: Wow!!! It sounded great!!! I told the guy it was sold!

Members totamus Posted September 21, 2010 Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 Wow - That is a great deal! They go for $600ish USD down here. Woo Hoo - Score! I have been looking at them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Nightwatchman9270 Posted September 21, 2010 Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 Beautiful guitar....kind of a "poor man's" T5! Have you compared it to a Taylor T5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted September 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yeah Totamus! I'm pretty sure I've seen them for much more than I paid. No case included, though, but it is still a great deal! Maybe for 600$, a hard shell case is included... The store won't carry the brand anymore. Also, they did some major makeover during the summer.They told me they had a few left in the backstore and decided to put them on clearance! The guitar was in the electric department and seemed lost among the electrics! I knew what it was, but when I saw the price tag, I wasn't sure it had a piezo, anymore. I was glad to learn it was indeed what I initially thought it was!! I just found out they gave me a set of .010 - .046. It doesn't matter too much. I'll keep the set for my Strat and buy new .011 - 0.49 tomorrow! There is not a single scratch on the guitar! It's beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Misha Posted September 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 -Thank's TN. Frank!! -TaylorMan9270: I've never tried a T5... I shall not: I don't want to have GAS!! The stereo cable allow me to split the signal: I can send the P90 in one amp and the piezzo in another amp. I can also get only the piezzo or only the P90. Each pickup has its own volume knob plus its own tone knob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guildfire Posted September 21, 2010 Members Share Posted September 21, 2010 Misha, great looking guitar. I want one. I do gigs where play mostly acoustic but for leads and fills would be great to switch over and use that P90! I like the idea of splitting into 2 amps too. Great deal! Do they come in other colors?
