A Sunrise pickup stretches across the soundhole of his Epiphone. So I got it, adjusted it, and I haven't had to adjust it since. Hynde often writes songs on unamplified electric guitars, such as the red Fender Bronco that her friend Jimmy Ellison from the band Material Issue gave her. I have to be able to play it propped up on some pillows, stretched out on the bed. That rules out Ovations, as anyone will know who's tried to play one like that.
Electric guitars are fine like that.
That's why I haven't gotten into acoustics before, because they're so bloody big. Separate feeds were used for the pickup and the mic, and only the pickup signal was in the stage monitors. The 12-string was also set up with a Puplett pickup. No matter how good a sound you can get, it's never like an acoustic guitar. Seymour's guitar also had a Dean Markley soundhole pickup installed in case of problems with the AccuVoice.
