Greetings and Happy Holidays:

I need a recommendation which Fishman Aura Spectrum DI images works best with a Martin LX1E guitar.  There is no listed images in the Aura library for this guitar (spruce top/composite back/sides).  So, short of creating a custom images, I need to use one listed in the library.  A recommendation from the blog community would be great.  Thanks.

I also address that some songs are acoustic or electric and try to pair them close to each other.

That's it! After 3 weeks of hard work (but pretty faster than expected), I'm almost done with Heitor Villa-Lobos' Prelude n°1.

Last Friday, when I saw my…

Q: What kind of guitar do you typically play? Acoustic or electric?

A: This is question that I get all the time and I always have to answer with the ever so bland response “everything.” I love playing acoustic and love playing electric. I really don’t even know which one I’m better at…
