Default Fishman question.

Ive got a Fishman mini artist. Would it be safe to plug in my Tele.

Safe, yes. May not sound very good but it won't hurt anything. Acoustic amps and PA speakers are designed to faithfully reproduce sound, while guitar amps are built to make electric guitars sound good.

Totally safe, but you might not like the tone.

You could use an amp-emulating stomp-box or some other amp emulator as an in-between, might give you a more useable tone. I was thinking Boss FDR-1 or FBM-1, SansAmp, or Pocket POD, but there are a dozen other great options out there.

Smitty,
Here is my 'Telecaster style' custom build with Pete Biltoft CC style pickups going directly into my Fishman Loudbox Performer:

They're very strong pickups.

I use my loudbox mini with my telecaster all the time. I like a clean tone so it works well for me. If I needed a crunchier, dirtier sound, maybe not so much.
