It is a generally accepted fact that the best way of
capturing the sound of an acoustic guitar is done using a
dynamic or condenser microphone. However, in live
situations where the sound level on stage can be loud it
is not advisable to only use these types of microphone.
If conditions allow it, a combination of an active* piezo
system and a microphone may be the perfect solution.
This scenario is handled perfectly with G-Natural.
