I've tried various things over the years to get My L50 that illusive amplified archtop sound. I once had a new pick guard made with a Johnny Smith pickup. It sounded too electric.
I am currently using a Fishman archtop pickup into an EQ pedal (Source Audio) into a Compressor pedal (MXR Custom Comp Deluxe) into a 70's Fender Champ upgraded with a much heavier and less efficient speaker. It's getting closer.
