Have you ever tried a Parker Fly with the Piezo pickup? I am a guitar
player and I've had some problems with my right arm and shoulder so
switched from an Ovation acoustic to a Parker Fly with Piezo. I also
use a Boss AD-5 processor, and the sound is fantastic. It really
sounds acoustic, and the action is phenomenal with those jumbo frets
on the Parker. In fact, people in coffee houses (when I used to play
them) would do double and triple takes, not being able to believe
their eyes at the acoustic sound of the very electric looking Parker
Nitefly I own.
I don't think I have yet recorded with the Parker, though. To hear my
Ovation work, go to the iTunes Store and search for Too Close On
Purpose (my first CD of all-original songs). I think you'll like them
if you like guitar since they were all written on the guitar.
I've never tried one but on looking it up, I had seen them.
I always wanted a Rick Turner Model 1. He was one of the founders of
Alembic which did some incredible work on basses and guitars. Now he's
out on his own. It really has incredible sustain and ambiance, like an
acoustic.
I'd heard a lot of good reviews on the Boss AD-5, but when I saw Patty
Larkin the first time, she had her Olson going thru a L.R. Baggs Para
Acoustic DI. I had to get one.
BTW I listened to some clips for your CD on iTunes store and it sounds
great, thanks!
