Amplified acoustics - redux
Last night I asked my teenage daughter if I could "borrow" her "guitar" (I gave it to her a couple of years ago hoping she'd pick it up but she instead excels at piano). She said "yeah sure" and gave me the case. I eagerly took it to the livingroom and uncased it. Ahhhhhhhh. The guitar is a Sigma Martin Auditorium

The guitar feels great..especially at the cutaway. The lines are smooth and it's got a good balance to it. Good heft at the neck...solid. By itself it sounds bright and thin but when you plug it into something it comes alive. It's got Fishman electronics with the standard graphic EQ, bass, treble, mid and presence along with the volume knob. Playing through my Peavey Classic 30 last night was so cool. I dialed in some nice reverb and delay into the signal. I spent the rest of the evening playing it and had tremendous fun. This was a nice departure from my other guitars. How many of you amp your acoustics?
