Wish they made them in short scale and at least 2 1/4” string spacing at the bridge...then maybe.

Another thing, one of our more experienced players suggested playing it through an electric amp. I wouldn't be surprised if that's where some of these are getting plugged in. Have you ever tried it through one? |

A couple of people have asked about installing the Anthem on the SC-13e so I took a few pictures of mine. I tried a video clip but couldn’t post that. Anyway I bought this from Sweetwater and they swapped it out so I don’t have any special expertise here but hopefully the pictures help.

Are you happy with the plugged in sound with the Anthem? Did you mess with the tiny screw that gives you the mic level?

What do you guys think of the neck attachment system?
Comments about this being for gigging musicians got me thinking. The linear dovetail bolt-on system, neck angle shims, intonation adjustment, etc., might make service relatively quick compared to a traditional neck system. I deal with high-end computer equipment service. Easily serviced gear means quicker turnaround and less downtime. Anyway, I find it interesting from a serviceability and engineering perspective. I’d love to hear what those who repair guitars think about it. -Tim- |

Your statement might hold more water if you’re referring to beginner players. As for the stock pickups in these, for live use a Tonedexter or similar device can go a long way toward improving the tone. |

So now you have to spend another $400 after getting a "revolutionary guitar built for the stage" to get a good live sound? So now we're up to over $2400 if you choose the Special burst model.

I completely see your point and I don’t disagree, but plenty of pros spend that $400 to get optimal tone from their rig, some of which have arguably "better" pickups than the SC13e. It’s just one solution to a problem, and maybe not the right one for everyone .

FWIW, I have never seen any local live acoustic performers in my area (Atlanta) using a Tonedexter. Maybe real Pro's with recording contracts, but not working musicians who usually don't have lots to spend on equipment.

Maury's music has posting some videos recently comparing these new SC13s to the original model and I'm not hearing much differences anywhere. He did one comparing pickups, with the Fishman MXT vs the Baggs Element and they both sounding not great. Neither one was noticeably better than the other, which surprised me, since I always felt the Element was better sounding than the Sonitone. Then he did one just comparing the acoustic sound of the original Koa veneer SC13e to the new Special model with it's Ziricote veneer and again, was very hard to distinguish any noticeable differences and I listened with headphones. Hard to justify the extra cost of these new models when there isn't any sonic upgrade. Upgrades seem purely cosmetic to me.
