Miguel de Maria -> RE: Guitar for a gig (Jun. 14 2013 18:11:50)

Yo Daffeey, I've played a Cordoba, I think it's a FCWE for many years as my main gig axe. I like the Cordobas, because they seem to be pretty consistent and the amplified sound is relatively balanced. If you are using the piezo pickup, there is nothing worse than a dead string or one that pops out. One thing you should ask yourself is if you are going to be doing a lot of strumming or mostly playing leads? The leads can sound okay, but the strumming... I don't know, man. If you are the rhythm player you might consider just getting a cheap Yamaha and jamming a SM57 right up to the 12th fret. The piezos don't seem to sound very good with aggressive playing in general. The piezos also don't pick up golpes, so you will need to use the interior mic--which cancels a lot of the benefit of using the piezos in the first place. For bossas and classical and other light touch music, the piezo is much better, IMO.
