I've seen it done very nicely with a 335-style guitar, as well as a Tele. I've got a couple of electrics with Piezo pickups, and can split the signal to two amps, one more of an acoustic nature, if you like. I saw another guy use a whole backing track setup rigged through an iPad, and had a wireless connection on a Strat. He had that running through a Bose PA, and he was awesome. There's a lot you can do with one electric for a gig, if you have the right gear along with you, from simple to complex.

I just did a 1 hour show using my Tele and Twin Reverb. I stayed primarily on the neck pickup and also sang through the twin! I found that using input #2 for both guitar and vocals really smooths out the sound.

Hearing Bill Kirchen perform The Times they are a Changin' just him with his telecaster at the Fur Peace Ranch last August was one of the most incredibly electrifying experiences of my long life.

Seasick Steve uses home made electrics with his stomp foot box and or drummers. It works with slide. I still am hesitant to bring mine again for a solo gig with vocals. I need that bass hit off the acoustic.

I do it regularly, but only for short, 1 hour gigs. I take & play 2 guitars, one in open G for Blues slide and one in E standard. I have no problem pulling it off for a short duration like this.
In a duo situation with my wife on bass and vocals we usually do 1.5 hours of a 3 hour gig electric - the rest acoustic. I don't feel it would work solo for 2-3 hours - at least not for me, not yet I ain't no Eric Gales, that's for sure. I think crowds enjoy hearing both in different sets and the change in sound and dynamics it creates. My .02

I've been playing the first set of my three hours solo gigs with this Gretsch 6120T '55 VS plugged into the same pedal board as my acoustic (Tapestry Bloomery Vol, Wazacraft Tuner, Grace Alix, Keeley Delay Workstation)...
I think people really like it. |

I've seen it done a multitude of times by various artists and it works beautifully. (Clean sound at suitable volumes).

I'm obsessed with this version. It's brilliant. It's a beautiful heartfelt tribute to Prince, but there's also so much of David shining through as well. So much soul.
It's public, so I don't think you need to have Facebook to view it. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10153462469555286

Again, as someone who thinks he no longer has GAS, could you please stop posting pictures of this particular guitar.

I wish I was talented enough to do that!
Tuck Andress and his wife Patti came to mind when I thought about solo guitar and voice... |

The action is set like a flat top acoustic at the saddle, and it has a bolt on neck. Cool hybrid guitar, same kind of idea as a Taylor T5. Last edited by jricc; 04-25-2019 at 05:29 PM. |
