Fantastic, much better than the Parker Fly or other similar solid bodied, piezo equipped guitars. Using DR Zebra strings (half bronze) definetely adds to acoustic flavor. Can do piezo alone, magnetics alone, or both together. I prefer the piezo in addition to the neck p/u into a clean amp for a HUGE clean sound. The piezo alone is ok, but the aforementioned combo makes the best clean sound I have ever heard. The magnetics take care of the overall sound and the piezo adds the upper chime, very thick, lush and complex tone.
