For reference: I saw Andy a couple of days ago, and got chatting to him about how he amplifies his guitar. Turns out he uses a magnetic pickup across the soundhole, and blends it with the 3 mini-condenser mics that are inside his guitar. For my finals exam he recommended using the piezo through the Mesa with an EQ pedal to take out all the banjo-like mids, mic'ing the cab with a 57, then mic'ing the guitar at the spot where Im playing the percussive bits with a good condenser. I actually managed to try this all out last night with one of the guys here doing a production/live sound course, and he EQ'd everything on the desk to get it sounding pretty damn fine!!
