I dont think you will get any acoustic amplification due the the nature of the p90 pickup. The best way to get beautiful acoustic amplification is externally mic the instrument at around the 12th fret. Dont butcher the guitar with adding a pickup you will devalue the guitar. <br />What is the serial number of yours?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956720593610325759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18307542.post-62159398774586204602015-11-11T10:17:49.743-08:002015-11-11T10:17:49.743-08:00Anybody know what kind of strings they are on the...Anybody know what kind of strings they are on the guitar???Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193623942941662565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18307542.post-712449284275051732015-11-11T10:15:48.820-08:002015-11-11T10:15:48.820-08:00Anybody know what kind of strings they are wit...Anybody know what kind of strings they are with the red ends????Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193623942941662565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18307542.post-48864729313839659512015-10-21T16:01:08.260-07:002015-10-21T16:01:08.260-07:00Lennon's stolen J-160E, serial #73157, has bee...Lennon's stolen J-160E, serial #73157, has been found and authenticated by Beatles gear expert Andy Babiuk. It has been owned by a man in San Diego, CA. for the last 45 years. The owner saw a recent article about the stolen guitar and realized that it might be the one he owned. He then contacted Babiuk. The guitar will be up for auction soon, proceeds go to the Spirit Foundation Charities.Jim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02156690033989151450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18307542.post-35959971978652425342015-02-12T05:52:49.179-08:002015-02-12T05:52:49.179-08:00I would like to find the value of a Gibson J160e w...I would like to find the value of a Gibson J160e with the number v6303-12 located near the tuning area.
