Location: Archbald, PA | I have a near mint Taylor T5 Standard in Trans Black with original case. I had an active under saddle pickup professionally installed with separate output, the jack is right next to and looks exactly like the original. Now you have a very real acoustic sound which you can run separate from the original electronics. Other than that this guitar is very clean with no issues, no dings and no fret wear. I am looking to sell for $1,400 or best offer. I will also trade for a Nice full-size acoustic with pickup as long as it is all gloss and in/of same condition/value as my Taylor. I would also be interested in an Ovation
EA68 USA Viper.
Thank you.

Location: Archbald, PA | Some people have asked what kind of under saddle pickup has been added and how I ran two outputs:It is a D-TAR Wave length with preamp:
"The Wave-Length combines a thin, piezo under-saddle transducer with an 18v, low-noise, high input impedance preamp, to create a system with twice the dynamic range of typical 9v systems. The 18v preamp is powered by two "AA" batteries. With 18 volts, your signal has more headroom, so hard strumming won't distort as easily. The preamp has an input for a second source, like a magnetic pickup or a soundboard transducer. "
Sounds very natural with no pic "quack".
To me it actually sounds better than stock body sensor sounds.
I ran the D-TAR under saddle pickup to a volume pedal, and then to my Genz Benz acoustic amp, then lined out to my PA Board. The stock electronics I used only positions 3-4-5 for best electric guitars sounds, ran to my pedal board, and then to my Rivera Tube Amp. Using the volume pedal I can add or take out the acoustic sound whenever I wanted. It was great to have that added acoustic sound when I had distortion and effects added to the T5's electric sounds running to my amp. You get 2 guitars in one like a Hamer Duotone or Ovation VXT. |
