Dear all sifus,
I just recovered back my sentimental value acoustic guitar Martin-Sigma from a friend whom borrowed and kept custody for 8 years. When I got it back, it was full of dust with rusty strings. Took it to Woh Fatt (BTW I am from KL, apology for writting in this SG forum) to clean up and replaced all those rusty strings.
Started playing back and practise playing all those oldies, ghee... I love the sound. Imagine at the age of 44 start learning guitar again. Quite embarassing to say it out here. Hopefully no objection from all.
Off late I intend to purchase an amp for my Martin-Sigma. There are 2 issues here that I wish to consult all the sifus.
Firstly, pls recommend a suitable amp for my Martin-Sigma. I intend to use it for practice and home listening only.
Secondly, since my Martin-Sigma is not equipped with built in amp or pick up (not sure what they call); should I get one that can fix at the sound hole type? And if so, what is the recommended brand?
Other than the type that can fix at the soundhole, what about installing one internally and than drill a hole at the side for connector? By drilling a hole will the quality of the sound detoriate?
Please enlighten me. Appreciate for some respond. Thank you.
