What would you do? What are my options? |
FWIW:
not very often I see an original post but I think you may have a first here.
Only ones I've seen were little lap top deals and brighter than a dulcimer - kind of cool for that caribbean vibe.
I'd use whatever other people have whatever that may be. A net search should turn up something. Probably something along the lines of mic'd acoustic guitar would be my guess.
I would be suprised if anyones used a guitar-like mag pup on one. Seems they have like little tangs you just flip as opposed to strings that mags are designed for.
