40's Era Carved Archtop Question
Hello, this is my first post on the acoustic guitar forum. I have a question regarding a 1940's carved top archtop. I have stumbled across one online that looks really nice, but somewhere along the road one of the owners had added a body mounted humbucker pickup and controls. My question is regarding whether or not the body mounted pickup will affect the acoustic sound of the archtop? I know that on a lot of these old carved top archtops people prefer the floating style pickup so that the top can vibrate and project with maximum acoustic volume.
