Hey guys, me again ^^;;

So yeah, I was browsing the internet and then I remembered how much I miss my acoustic (died at the neck after playing some Andy Mckee), and I don't want to get it replaced, but I don't exactly have enough cash for a luthier to take a look at it and repair it. Then I looked at my Strat, and thought, "yeah, there's gotta be a way to make this sound acoustic." Thus began my quest to make my Strat sound like an acoustic.

I looked around, and I saw different makes, types of piezos, and it's coming down to a choice between:

Fishman Powerbridge
RMC Pow'r Bridge
Ghost Graphtech

I'm kinda leaning to the RMC, as I've heard good things about it, but any advice would be greatly appreciated! :D

P.S. I'm going to wire all tone control to my upper tone pot (a little Richie action going on there, n'est pas? :wink: ), and a wire the piezo to the lower tone pot for volume control. (And get a new cover for it! :lol: )

P.P.S. I don't have to worry about thin strings, cause right now I'm using 14-20-24w-32w-44w-56w strings, so it should sound somewhat natural.
