The AEG10 acoustic-electric features the AEQ-SS Shape Shifter EQ and the Fishman Soncicore pickup, which work together to give your audience the most clear and real guitar sound possible, fresh from the strings to their ears. The Shape Shifter is also one of most unobtrusive EQ's available. It gives you more volume, with less distortion than other EQs. The Shape Shifter also eliminates feedback with a phase reversal switch. Battery changing is easy with a separate battery compartment, and the low battery light gives you plenty of warning when your battery power is low, which won't happen often, due to circuitry that promotes long battery life.
