I want to get my Old Wave C# electrified. I have a Schwab 5-string, and love what it can do, but want to be able to amplify the acoustic sound for possible use onstage in a loud venue where just mic'ing it doesn't work.
I've heard lots about McIntyre Feather pickups, but from what I can tell they require the endpin location ot be used for an output. I'd rather set it up with some sort of external 1/4" jack (I've seen something like that clipped onto a mandolin before, I think). Is the only option the Fishman, or is there some sort of internal pickup that can be rigged like this?
This would be my first foray into amplified acoustic instruments, so I don't have a lot of experience in the equipment or methods of doing this.
Somebody educate me!!!
Thanks, y'all...
