I played in a bar jam last night. I am really glad I didn't return the LL16. The LR Baggs Venue is amazing. You could hardly tell the pickup was a piezo. The tone shaping was amazing and very easy to dial in, although you do have to squat down to read the dials. I spent part of the night letting other people play my guitar so I could hear what it sounded like. I was blown away. The boost is very useful in a jam situation. Haven't even tried the effects loop yet. The Venue was an expensive add on but it was cheaper than returning the LL16 and getting another solid wood guitar. I really wanted a guitar that shone acoustically but also sounded good for jams and open mics. With the Venue the LL16 fits the bill perfectly.
