The piezo quack coming out of that Maton dreadnought is really pronounced. Every time I hear Tommy play that particular guitar, I kind of shudder. His other Maton guitars sound really good through the pickup, but this one ... I asked him once why he uses that guitar at all, and he said he just wanted to put forth a different sound, for variety.
It does that...
I've heard him play "Amazing Grace" on his smaller, OM-sized Maton and I thought it sounded a whole lot better.
I know that his over-the-top playing on a song like this can cause some people to turn away. But Tommy's a showman, an entertainer. It's songs like this that the non-guitar players in the audience react positively to.
