...a couple of years ago, I bought an EA68 VIPER with the idea of "adding" a floating, neck-mounted HB pickup...but, alas, there wasn't spacing enough between the body and strings for pickup to fit.
...I'm mostly rhythm and chordal jazz player, or as I jokingly tell people, I play "...BACH to ROCK and back." |

...interesting info you posted about: (a) lack of TONE control for the piezo pickup; (b)vagueness (?) of the blend control between magnetic pickup and piezo; and (c) stereo/mono switch on VXT.
...how was the neck? Love my Balladeer, but somewhat disappointed with the "raw" unfinished wood finish on the VIPER...not what I expected. |
