HI all,
I know this has been beat to death on here but why not one more time? I play mostly singer songwriter type gigs in small places with myself another vocalist and another guitarist. I play a Clapton 000-28 and a Larrivee LV-03. Neither one of these guitars have pickups in them.
It is my New Years resolution to invest in some equipment of my own so I won't be at the mercy of the house sound equipment or soundman. My first choice would be to mic my guitars. How troublesome would that be? Also, can anyone recommend a good mic for this purpose?
I have also thought about having pickups installed. Looking for suggestions there. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
