FS: '97 Godin LGX 2000

What do you string it with to maximize all this potential? For example, I'd think a beefy low E would benefit the piezo set up, but that would be heavier, perhaps, than you'd normally go for straight electric.

what's the scale length?

I just ran my usual set of 10's (10 - 46) on it. They seem to work well for both modes. Scale length is 25.5" (Fender type).

Re: acoustic tone, did you listen to the second part of that first YouTube video link I posted? If you search for "Godin LGX piezo" on YouTube, you can find a couple more examples, I believe.

and why is the site suddenly withholding my posts "until mod approved". That's a new one on me.

About time they clamped down on you here, Kip!

I did listen, but you know how that is...no idea what he's playing through. Could be a Roland cube or something. So much can effect what we hear on youtube. It was definitely acoustic-y relative to the other...

But the set up could work. I run out to a VP, to an AB pedal. A is acoustic, to the house DI. B goes through the pedal chain to my Boogie. See what I did there?

The thing is. like you, I play in a big outfit, 8 piece, and small stages. Having two guitars in stands, with mic stand, pedal board, combo....I have a significant footprint. Last weekend the sound guy moved my stand, a 2 in 1 Hercules, to relocate the monitors. I came back, and hastily grabbed my semi in the cramped quarters....the strap was UNDER the leg. I sent the stand, with acoustic (Larrivee) crashing to the floor, smacking on the top/fretboard. Everything survived. But it could have gone differently. The though that I could have one 600 dollar axe meet the need and limit my footprint has appeal. My guitar plays a role in the band, but it's limited. Featured most prominently on a couple of Acoustic tunes, and lots of electric shuffles (soul band). This could likely fill the bill.

Wheels are turnin'

Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying. That's why I suggested checking out a couple more YouTube vids. BTW, there are videos posted there for other LGX models or later versions of the same model after they changed to Duncan humbuckers. But they all use the same Baggs piezo system.
