Ellipse Aura for acoustic only Shorty?
I intentionally ordered my SGA-FLE Shorty as acoustic only to avoid having a barn door preamp. Now I'm thinking about adding a preamp and undersaddle pickup.
The Aura Ellipse is appealing to me right now due to the no-cut installation. Has anyone tried one of these on a RainSong that can tell me their experiences? Thanks!

I have zero real experience with them but they sound fantastic on youtube videos featuring wood guitars. There are a lot of different ways to get acoustic tones from your SGA (I ordered mine the same way since there are so many great aftermarket options) but Fishman is obviously a reputable and respected company. I would imagine those killer studio images would sound just fine through a quality preamp just to have the ability to control eq and feedback a little more.
Love your guitar by the way!

Thanks!
I have an email in to Fishman asking about images for the RainSongs, but I think I'll do better to download the utility and see what they have for myself. My concern is that CF guitars are such a different breed from wood that non-specific images may not be of much use.

I just downloaded the Aura application, and sure enough the only RainSong is a DR1000 dread - which I can't imagine would be of much use for either Shorty or my WS3000.
I'm hoping someone will pop in that has used an Aura in a RainSong with comments about the images used.

I just got confirmation from Fishman that the following RainSong images are available in the Aura software database:
DR1000 JM3000 CO-OM1000N1 BI-WS1000N2 A further comment from Fishman --- Anyone not seeing these may have made a mistake in how they have sorted the library, or perhaps need to update their images in the software (Account=>Download Images).

Thanks, Ashvin - one of those should work for Shorty. I'm not seeing anything other than the RS Dread in the Fishman app as downloaded and installed, but it won't let me update the directory images without an account - and to create an account you must plug into an Aura preamp. I think I'm going to pursue this.
Thanks again!
