Do you have Bigsby or other tremelo installed on your SG? I've been completely happy with the Sperzels that I put on my Strat.  These might work for you but measure the hole sizes first just to be sure.

Doc,

Not sure where you are headed here, but check out the first few seconds of the following video.

Jack White hammers a wire to a board,  Inserts a primitive magnet/wire pickup and a coke bottle and makes himself a slide guitar.

How much more do you need?

Bushy,

Here is another bit you might consider.  MIDI (musical instrument digital interface) has been around for almost 20 years now, maybe longer.  I have NO (repeat: None, Zilch, Zero) comprehension of how it works,why it works, or what it is for.  For a younger crowd or a more educated crowd, or whatever type of crowd, this may be the perfect answer.  Every device I own and currently use has a MIDI plug in the back of it. I do not have a clue as to how to use it or what it is for.  My background is tube amps and pedal effects.  To me, "triggering" is something entirely related to weapons that use gun powder as a propellant. So what I'm saying is that, 35 years of guitar playing doesn't really mean any progress in technical-electrical application, or ease in the area of live performance. There is still a lot to learn, even for an old dog like me.  Or, you rely on what you know.

Best of luck,

Nope.  Not gonna do it.  This is not a product search. This is a quest.  You're going to have to go out to a music store and try some. Even then, you won't be trying them in your usual setting with your usual set up.  Eventually, you'll find one that fits a lot of your needs. Not all.  Don't expect to be successful on the first go. Or even the fifth. I could tell you what I have but that will not help you. Good luck in your quest.

Have you tried overdriving your second amp channel to achieve the sound you want?

Fingerstyle maybe?

Phoenix,

My 2 cents worth dictates that you go with the Dove.  Martin makes a lot of great instruments but the great ones need to have names like 000-xx or D-18, D28, D45, 00-xx etc.  Don't get me wrong here. Martin, for years, has been the standard by which all others are judged. When you start talking about Gibson guitars, the choices become very few.  They only make a few acoustics: J-200, Dove, Hummingbird, L-00.  The top end of the Gibson Acoustic line is the entire Gibson acoustic line.  Gibson doesn't make an economy acoustic.  Martin does.  I suggest that you sit down at a major music store that has a good selection for you to chose from and try them all.  Spend some time with your next purchase.  These guitars at these price ranges are not cheap.  If you really want to spend this much money on your next acoustic, don't ignore the other makers.  Lowden, Larrivee, Collings, Santa Cruz, there are a hundred more. What I would hate to see is that you spent a lot of money on a guitar that had a famous name but didn't make you happy.

Good Luck,

Matt

Yes, definately a looper.  Digitech makes one, the Jamman.  Digitech also includes a looper in their RP-1000 multi-effects pedal.  Boss makes several varieties of loopers.  Both companies have high ratings in their abilities to reproduce your sound. Which ever you intend to buy, be forewarned that these require a bit of practice before you take them out on the road.

Sorry to stir the pot here but, a Telecaster might fit the bill better. Especially if you're not used to the careful balance between springs and strings.

Check out   www.stewmac.com  for tips and supplies to help you out.   No,  I do not work for them.  They helped me out when I snapped the neck off of one of my guitars.  They were very helpful.

Ditto on the Fast Fret

Have you played a Godin 5th ave? or its electric cousin the 5th Ave Kingpin?

I've been fortunate enough to experience the phenomena myself.  I have a 28 year old Ovation and a 37 year old Guild.  I would pit the tonal quality of either of these guitars against their modern cousins with no regrets or fears.  Its a fact. If its a quality built instrument, it only gets better with age.
