  1. Hi Ingo
    What acoustic guitar pickup or mic would you use with your MK-81 on stage?

    Outstanding blog, btw. Thanks for all the effort. So interesting.

  2. Hmm.. I’m going to have to send you some “beer money” for replying so quickly there, mate.
    😉

    Do you process the sound in any way – pedals, desk effects? I’m also guessing you go into the mixer and not a dedicated acoustic guitar amp..?

  3. I owned a 1977 MK-53, used a Don Lace Bronze Sensor to amplify. I rode into Austin Texas in 1999 on a Bicycle, all the way from Hot Springs, Arkansas, with a “Carlos” Flattop Guitar & a bunch of Special-20 Harps. I was playing on “The Drag” (Guadelupe Street) from 11:00 AM then moved to “6th. Street” about 5:00 OM & played until 4:00 AM, 7 Days a week. I found the Gibson at One World Guitars, put it on Law Away ($20.00 Bill Down) and within a month “The Citizens & Tourists of Austin, Texas” BOUGHT me a GIBSON GUITAR! I have a old Photo of me holding it, http://homelessjazzguitar.blogspot.com/2011/01/gibson-mk-53-guitar-1977-model.html
    I truely loved that Guitar, & when I showed up at a Folk Festival in Ramona, CA. the Bridge had Separated, I glurd it back (Yellow Elmer’s) and Counter-Sunk 2 Tiny Brass Screws into the Under-Brace to Hold it! The Sound was in no way affected.

    1. I forgot about being here! Well, you don’t get a beer, I live in San Francisco, i smoke Medical Hemp, but your playing is Great, Wunnerfil, as Lawrence Welk used to say. I just turned 67 Years Old on Dec. 12, 2007. I guess by them youll anser.
