I guess DrDave is still in my head.
Here is a great example of just an O and a mic.
Sounds pretty good unplugged to me.

And I think its "just" an old Balladeer.
Other clips of this guy shows the label but I can't tell if it's the old foil kind.

The clip is HERE .

Sweet. My starting point has always been the "O" UNPLUGGED. Piezo-only is NOT the whole story. Plus is you f*ck it up with lots of processing... it might as well be a cheesy electric!

Here's my that I shared some time ago... unplugged two cents

Must be the dain bramage out here in California, but when I brought up the clip in the first post, lady stonebobbo thought I was playing a banjo song. She didn't care much for the tone of that performance and it didn't do anything for me either.
