It sounded horrible when I plugged it in, however. Turns out that you can't have it both ways.
Interesting. I wonder how Nickel acoustic strings would fare on electric plugged in.
To use a mag PUP with acoustic strings, you need a PUP that is voiced for acoustic...the laws of physics apply to string materials/mass vs. PUP. Since my FS4612CE...with both a UST and Mag PUP...both thoroughly antiquated...is essentially an ELECTRIC guitar...I.E. you need to amplify it...I use ELECTRIC strings...the transducer picks up VIBRATIONS...and doesn't much care if the strings are steel or nickel or bronze...but the old PUP needs the electric strings...possibly a new modern PUP voiced for acoustic would change that...but for now, just like it is, works.
