I don't get how you keep something acoustic by "incorporating a Nanoflex HD pickup".

As I said before, what a shame.

The 41' Triumph is a ringer for my garbage pile pick.
They could have "kept them acoustic" and installed a suspended magnetic pickup, which would sound way cooler and more appropriate for an archtop guitar than the piezo pickup. I honestly don't get the appeal of the "acoustic electric" sound anyway, and for an archtop it just seems like sacrilege.

Yeah man, that Triumph is sweet! Such a clean one too. My '41 Spartan is the same color, with the firestripe pickguard.
