Turns out, there's an interesting story behind the "Blackie" model.

Well? Get another cup of coffee and start frekin' typing..

BTW, do you know of anyone "local" (tri state area) who sets up and/or
works on electric guitars?


Two in my area. Both are "Music Unlimited" stores. One is in Kingston,
about 2 miles away and the other is in Hanover , about 12 miles. They both
are staffed by musicians, pro and not so pro, but all are knowledgable and
many attended schools of music.

They provide lessons on just about any instrument and do repairs,
refurbishments, etc, on guitars.
I am going to bring my Taylor 12 string down to them, have it checked out,
adjusted, restrung and, if possible, have the new piezo sensor and controls
installed to convert it to acoustical/electric. The newer, six string
Taylor I have has this system factory installed, and it sounds great,
especially on an amp specifically designed for acoustic/electrics. I use a
65 watt "Kustom" for it and it sounds right at home playing along with the
Eagles. If I use a regular, solid body electric guitar amp like the little
Marshall I use for the electrics only, it sounds horrible.
