    Swanny had a look at the tonewood amp looks intersting. Presume you plug your jack into the device. Hope the amp on the back of the body doesn't get in the way

    No, Wokka, it doesn't use the pickups, it allows you to use the guitar accoustically, with effects. It only works with hollow bodies.

    Here's a Youtube clip of some upstart trying it out...

    I gave you a bum steer earlier, Wokka!

    Unpacked the unit, and decided to try it on my old Maton. The Tonewood amp does need the signal from the pickup, it then transmits it into the body of the guitar so the sound comes out of the sound-hole.

    It gives you effects like delay, reverb, and tremelo. I've got a lot of playing to do, to get my fingers used to playing again!
