[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 14791, member: 46"] Re: Acoustic guitar pickups Yep, sympathy is about all you can get. Some styles of music are more forgiving - if I run into an act with a lot of instrumentation, I can usually blend the acoustic back a bit and EQ it to the point where you're mostly perceiving just the top end (kind of like the Tom Petty acoustic thing). This only works with a fairly dense mix where the acoustic is not a featured instrument. Sometimes you end up with a situation where you're dealt a turd that you just can't polish. Think of it as a way of helping you to appreciate the few guitarists who come through who actually have a great sounding acoustic. GIGO holds true here. [/QUOTE]
