Switch between outputs and see confusion in the faces of those few audience Aggressive fingerpicking got a familiar acoustic “snap” that brought varietyĪnd authenticity to a normally all-electric set. I’d expected to spend a few minutes adjusting EQ on the mixerīut was happy rolling off the “rumble” frequencies and leaving everything elseįlat. The battery-powered piezo output offered a pleasant, recognizablyĪcoustic tone. A jazz soloist or clean rhythm player might find a lot of unique The pickups with the single connection and found it more useful than I thought Magnetic pickups’ volume to 0 yields a pure piezo tone, but I tried blending Magnetic pickups, again controlled by the two volume controls. “MAG” output jack feeds the connected jack with a blend of both the piezo and Plugging into the “MIX/PIEZO” output with no plug in the Model unlike the Maryland-built version, the SE has the same binding on theįingerboard, headstock, and even the F-holes.

The two versions incorporate different piezoelectric systems, both by LR Baggs. The SE sports 58/15 “S” pickups, the company’s offshore-built versions of the US-made 58/15 LT found on the US model, and the SE’s beautifully figured top and back patterns are maple-on-maple veneers rather than the carved figured maple top and back on the core model.
