[Quickstep192]

As you may have noticed from my other posts, I'm looking for an archtop guitar for an upcoming gig.

Sorry for the naive questions, but I have no experience with archtops or electrics.

I was looking for an electric archtop, you know, the kind with a pickup, when a friend informed me that I'd also need an amp that would be mic'd into the venue's PA. The additional cost of an amp put a halt to my search until today when I noticed that K&K and Fishman make pickups for archtops.

Since I already have a K&K pre-amp, it seems I could use a K&K Definity pickup on an archtop and couple it to my K&K pre-amp.

Is this too good to be true?

I also notice that Fishman makes an archtop pickup that replaces the bridge. Could this also possibly be paired with my K&K pre-amp?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
