I got my baby back from the shop today
Several weeks ago (Feb. 16th to be exact) I dropped my Bridgeport acoustic guitar off at the local music emporium to have a pickup installed. It was only supposed to take a week or so, but that turned into many weeks as the repair guy was backed up, got sick, etc. He called today and I picked up the guitar. It sounds and plays terrific. I was a little concerned that the action, which was perfect beforehand wouldn’t be as good, but it is. I have many guitars, most of them I could easily replace. This is the one guitar that is an absolute keeper. Feels like it was made just for me. So glad to have it back. Now I can get ready for my return to open mics, one of my goals to the next 90 days.

So “Baby” got a new pair of shoes (lol). Good for you @GuitarGeni 😎 Hope you enjoy the sound of Baby plugged in – what type of pickup did you have them install🤔

It’s an LR Baggs Anthem knockoff that I got from Amazon for less than $40. Here’s the Amazon Title for it: <b style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>ASCENDAS Folk Acoustic Guitar PICKUP, A-202 Guitar Equalizer Piezo Pickup. The guy at the shop said he wouldn’t be surprised if the same company makes them for LR Baggs. Has the under saddle piezo and a microphone that mounts under the bridge. Has a sound hole volume control and another wheel that blends the mic with the piezo. I’m fond of the two pickup systems and I like that the controls aren’t invasive at all. I would have preferred to have a tone wheel, but at this price I’m not complaining. It’s got a little more treble than I like, but that can easily be remedied with the amp settings. I have them all flat at present.
I’m going to get another one to put in Mojo for slide. It has a very small sound hole so this type will work out perfectly for that.

Good for you, Geni.
I understand. Some things just can’t be replaced. Glad it worked out for you.
Keep on pickin’. 😉
