CoM membership
Very cool!
I see no A19's, one of which I am the proud owner. May I apply for membership? Which may be temporary.... I absolutely love this guitar, but it's a bit too big for me, sadly. If anyone is interested in a sale, or trade for smaller body, please pm me. Thanks! |

Of course!! Welcome. Sorry that A19 isn’t fitting you well. Enjoy it as much as possible while you can. And try to take some videos of your playing with it. You’ll want to hear it again even after it’s gone. I had to sell my A30c a couple years ago because it was just too deep for me. My custom AP25 is just the right fit for me.

pickup question
Just put a deposit on an A25 and I’m a bit giddy with excitement!
I’m considering going very minimalistic with this guitar as I have 2 guitars with Baggs magnetics and JJB Prestige 330’s. I don’t want a soundhole pickup in the McIlroy and may not install anything. Anyone have any advice or systems that work for you? - Ben |

Welcome to AGF! This is a fantastic community with a lot of helpful folks. Also, welcome to the amazing world of Mcilroy guitar ownership. I have a passive Schatten HFN in my Mcilroy and I'm very happy with it. Pickup choice can be a very personal decision based on many assumptions and goals. My goals were: no battery inside, no glue inside, light weight. The Schatten has very low output so it needs a good external preamp, but the sound is natural, it can get VERY loud and with tape or putty, it is non invasive. So I'm a big fan of it, but I want to also say that there are MANY fantastic pickup options that will work for you. best to you Steve C

I think I read a previous post of your’s regarding the Schatten. I’m reluctant to drill out the endpin and may opt to leave it alone. I have a preamp I love (Red-Eye) so a passive route is not out of the realm of possibility. I also use a Helix and found that pretty amazing stash of IR’s you linked! Going to have some fun with those! Thanks again!

Thank you sir! I appreciate that.
The A model is really a great build in every respect, and the Val de Fiemme spruce top is really “musical” if you know what I mean. It sings. Good for flatpick and fingerstyle. Acquired it a few years ago right here on AGF. BTW, if you’re looking to acquire an A36 with val de fiemme and very fine MRW back and sides, I know where there is one FS. You can pm me if you like and continue to discuss, no need to hijack the thread. It’s not mine, but I know the owner who is a fine player. It’s a great instrument. In all cases, thank you very much for the link, and best wishes. Mark. |

I forgot to request official membership again now that I have the A30!
Hoping to get some recordings done with it soon and I'll post them here.

DrDavid used to “moderate” this thread and encourage all you wonderful McIlroy owners and followers. Does anyone know what has happened to our friend?
