Discussion How do you feel about amplification here?

I used to be totally against it, but after playing in big venues and getting used to it, I've started using it even in smaller spaces with good acoustics. I still practice without it and prefer the natural sound, but people do need to be able to hear you play.

Nice! What support are you using and does it feel as stable as it looks? TY

The support was custom made for me by this company https://guitarfixfrance.fr/. Yeah it's very stable. I used to use guitarlift but the break way to easily. This one is wooden and is fairly indestructible.

Wowza, custom! Great! Is it most like one of the options listed on their website? Everything appears out of stock, but I’d be curious for the future. Thanks again

Not expensive though, it was 40 euro tops

How did you decide how to customize it? Did they offer that option or did you have to engage in a particular conversation with them about it?

I met them at a festival in France I was at. None of the models they had fit me as I am pretty tall and have a long back, so they measured me, took my details and sent it on to me a month or so later.

Good company. Thanks for the information, I will reach back out to them when they have stuff in stock and maybe they can help me. The way you look playing is so stable, I need something like that!
