Thanks for the great reply. I look forward to my next music store tour. There are some mid priced solid carved eastman archies kicking around.
In terms of amps... i have collected famous and sleeper amps for years and have some really great undervalued ones.
a Music Man RP112 65 has a beautiful rich smooth mag pickup tone.. Tones of vibe... But the speaker doesnt seem to give the presence and air required for the piezo
Also a. Peavey Heritage which is two channels of independent eq.. able to great tones on both the mag or piezo via separate channels.
Both are hybrids.. SS preamp and tube power amp, which I think is probably the best of both worlds for this style of guitar. Very crystalline preamplification combined with the smoothing effect of the output transformer and a bit of Class A tube halo effect.
