Sounds a lot better. It probably just feels quieter to you while playing it because the acoustic strings sounded louder by themselves without the pickups. When you listen to the picked-up signal alone it sounds a lot more refined now. That whole guitar just sounds fantastic, man! Of course that always includes the person playing it and how! ;D Great stuff my friend! Sounds great! 👍
I recently put a set of 13-52 nickel electric strings on my Taylor acoustic as an experiment. No pickup involved. I hadn't played in ten years, wanted to change strings regardless, and wanted the "bend" and playability of steel/nickel strings compared to bronze. I wasn't going to play in public, so losing some tone wasn't as important as just playing. The heavier electric strings sound better than I thought any electric string would on an acoustic, and I sometimes enjoy playing music conducive to an acoustic on acoustic. I might even step down to tens when it's time to restring. Making things easier to actually play is important, especially to an old guy like me, or to most people watching, because they just play music to play music.
Tenho uma Guild Troubador igualinha, adoro, curiosamente, nunca me tinha lembrado de a ligar ao amp de guitarra eléctrica, boa dica! De facto, experimentei e fiquei impressionado com o som, como é que nunca me tinha lembrado antes. Um pedal de Reverb, um pouco de distorção e um Marshal DSL20, e bruuutal... quanto ao problema das cordas de cima não se ouvirem tanto, também me aconteceu, mas eu sinto que resolvi subindo a altura dos pickups, já que esta guitarra tem a opção de os levantar individualmente, baixei consideravelmente os das cordas mais finas... ficou dentro dos possíveis, equilibrada. Tnks por mais um grande vídeo...
Looks to me like the factory pickup supplied with that model? “DeArmond Tone Boss, a user-friendly humbucking magnetic soundhole pickup with built-in volume control…”
@@BuddaGuedes That's something I'm going to be doing soon as well because I just ordered a set of Thomastik Infeld Extra Light Gauge Flatwound Strings (Jazz Swing). The Wound G String on these is Flexible because the Wound Strings are Compound Wound (multiple wrap wires wound around the core) which allowed them to make the core thinner.
try some Martin retro nickelwound or Dean Markley vintage nickel ! The thicker, the more (acoustic)volume. you can raise the pole pieces under the wound strings in order to balance out the differences. Thanx for the demo, sounding very well!
Well Budda, I am not a Musician or anything like you, but I like to plug in the equipment and let it run a bit. A friend of mine has a busted old Rickenbacker lap steel that I think is going to be donating a big giant-ass wraparound pickup to the next guitar build. I was going to have stereo, but an extra Transducer like that is best not to be balancing with normal output stuff. 🎸 I guess I just have to hook up one more amp. 😸
I prefer the acoustic strings palette of tones better and believe they work better also with a voice. The wounded are bassier, perfect for driving rhythm, the voice it's usually midish, and the unwound fill the highs and accents and stand out better. Em equipa vencedora...
I wanted to know how the intonation would be affected by the electric strings, but you used a slide instead of fretting the higher range. Therefore, the jury is still out on intonation.

Actually after playing it for a while I love it more and more

10 is a great gauge for acoustic if you don’t need to play hard
Ohh Budda🎅
Really really
Great
thanks✨
Thanks a lot
i think it sounds good
Thanks

Obrigado por partilhar estou
Qual o pick-up da guitarra, Budda? Vou tentar isso com uma parlor Larrivee!
Everyone wants to know!

That’s it. It’s the stock one. I love the Gretsch one too
Flatwounds on an Acoustic Guitar would help eliminate the slide noise.
That’s also a plan I have to do

@@BuddaGuedes It's kinda funny that not alot of Acoustic players get to use Flatwound strings & they should do it more often these days.
Let us know how it worked out
@@BuddaGuedes My Flatwound strings are waiting.
Great demonstration Budda! Much better, fuller and balanced sound with the electric strings. What is the pickup you are using mate?
This is what Congress in the guild me240

Great ideia
