I have heard that the on board Shadow eSonic2 preamp dampens the sound when used without the electric hookup. I have only occcasional use for the amplifer and have a Martin 000C-16RGTE that I have as my primarly guitar and like its amped and unamped sound. Any thoughts...I looking for a good finger picking guitar and have noticed several refurbed 500CCE on ebay...
So I'm trying to decide between the EF500RA, EF500R and a 500CCE.
HELP!!!
