    Default piezo...

    are there any companie's that are relatively cheap that have piezo's in them? i was thinking about it, and it'd be really cool to have those abilities on an electric.
    i was first thinking Godin, but i dont know how much it'd be...

    I think the Solidac is the cheapest Godin with a piezo.

    Yep, Godins are as cheap as they come from what I've seen.

    They're not that expensive to retrofit to a guitar that didn't originally come with one. I have a Warmoth Strat with the Baggs system, it's a really nice piezo. I've heard good things about the Graphtech Ghost system too, but I decided against it because I didn't want graphite saddles and I didn't want the wires to show.

    Problem is that cheap systems sound bad...even expensive systems sound bad unless you run it into a full range amp, which means bringing 2 amps to the gig. I run my RMC equipped Brian Moore into a full range cab, with a ton of compression and some reverb- still not exactly like an acoustic, but maybe 90%...

    i have a yamaha RGX820Z that came stock with piezo. It also comes stock with JB and '59, and you can find them used on ebay for under $300

    here is a auction that ended that shows some good pics.... these things actually list for $1200 or something but MF blew them out a few years ago for $299

    The Parker imports are ok...the only problem is they don't have the carbon-glass composite neck finish, which is one of the best things about Parkers.

    Jim, when I run stereo, use this setup:

    Electric channel--> Dynacomp--> POD XTL--> Behringer mini mixer-->

    Acoustic channel--> DOD FX65 Chorus--> mini mixer-->

    (both) Mixer--> direct box--> house mixer

    I used to use two channels on the main board, but it was too confusing for certain soundmen

    Brian Moore guitars has piezos as well.
