Taylor ES1 vs KNA SG-1 Acoustic Guitar Pickup Comparison



This is just my experiment on acoustic guitar pickups.  I installed a KNA SG-1 piezo pickup on my Taylor 214ce.  This Taylor guitar is has a built-in ES1 pickup.  The latest generation this guitars have ES2 or Expression System 2.  I then recorded both outputs of these pickup on Zoom Q8 mic inputs.  Checkout the video and hear the results of this comparison.

Dunlop 65 String Cleaner and Conditioner Test on Old Guitar Strings



This is the second time I showed using this Dunlop 65 String Cleaner and Conditioner.  But this time, I tried it on a very dull set of strings on Takamine EG340C acoustic electric guitar.  Hear for yourself the difference in guitar sound before and after cleaning the strings.  Although, the tone is not comparable to a brand new strings, I can hear a reasonable improvement in the sound of the guitar.
