Condenser microphone inside jazz guitar

[@rudolfwurtz8668]

very nice and really useful info. I will try that on my old Epi century from 1966. I had tried a „Schertan“ mic which let the old and now forebidden 2 sorts of wood sound amazingly compared to its small guitar body. As the old „dogear pickup“ sounds somehow rotten, I am now looking forward to Morton‘s solution🤓

Did that for classical guitar and upright bass back in the '80-90's. Worked better than other contact mics. Since the signal was going through some peddles the sound was relatively easy to clean up.

Cool

Sounds great!

[@Starguitar-1989]

Thank you for the valuable information

Certainly adds more sizzle but here's the thing: both tones sound good. Without the microphone sounds more traditional and smooth.

[@MortenF]

Yeah, they're both good👍🏻

I would have liked to hear just the condenser.

Before you drill any holes in your guitar: consider using a wireless microphone like the Rode Wireless GO II TX. (not that cheap, but there are some alternatives out there).

Pat Metheny of course uses this for over a decade now. Sounds good if you blend in slightly, just to give that "definition" to the round tone. Out of curiousity: have you tried the T-bone on acoustic too by mounting it in the soundhole as Pat does? I'm curious how good it sounds for that purpose

[@MortenF]

I haven't seen what Metheny does on acoustic, but yes I have tried it. Pointing out at the soundhole sounds great, but I would guess it's not safe for feedback. Tommy emanuel has a soundhole mute, then moves the condenser mic towards the bridge. Not a super pretty sound on its own, but great in combination with a piezo.

Honestly, I don't hear much difference. Maybe it's the recording + Internet + headphones that do not accurately produce the sound.
