Thinking about a new guitar: acoustic/electric or electric with piezo?
I currently have two guitars, a Suhr T HSH and an Ibanez RG570. I'd like to pick up something along the lines of a Taylor 314CE, but I've read many threads about tone matching and piezo electrics. Both acoustic electrics and piezo rigs are totally foreign to me, so I don't know what to expect. From what I think I've read, a electric with piezo can give some great flexibility for cover band material where I need to jump from an acoustic tone to full on electric at the flip of a toggle. But, I'd enjoy the "campfire" mood with a true acoustic in hand. So given the current guitars I own, which I play through an XL and a CLR wedge, what would you recommend?
In the band I'm in, I'm one of two guitarists, who typically swap lead guitar/vocal duties. If I'm singing, he plays the leads and vice versa. We play typical 70's - 00's rock covers. But as I said, there are times where just having an acoustic would be handy for campfire jams.
Thanks
