Install amp plug to my acoustic guitar?
Have any of you ever installed, or had one installed?
I'd like to do it, just don't want to spend alot of coin to do so.

Cheap one from Hastings. Gibson Maestro, first one ever owned.
I'll upgrade once I get better.

Go to your local music shop and see what they have and what they would charge to install it. I have a yamaha and put a fishman in it. I spent $150.

In all honesty and and I'm not being a guitar snob since I own a $200 Yamaha, but I owned a Maestro. Spend the money on a better guitar rather than the pick up and your learning curve will be much shorter with hearing a better tone than the Maestro. And change those strings every month.

So in your opinion you think I should just leave the Maestro as is, and go purchase a little better guitar?
BTW, I cant view youtube  Dang it!
