Electric strings on the acoustic guitar, and a metal pick

It just works. 

Granted, I also took a set of medium electric strings, and moved each gauge of string up to the next string. So I put the E as the A, the A as the D, and so forth. And I found a really heavy (.56) E string for the E. So I basically made my own set of ultra heavy strings, and on the acoustic with the steel pick, it just rings out. Each note is clear and sharp.

I’m also using an O Port, which I got for free thanks to my time at GC Austin. The people who make it are based out of Austin, and I have to give them a shout out for this thing. It retails for $30, and is THE easiest way to make your acoustic sound better with no other modifications. It really adds a lot of bass, and tightens all of the frequency ranges. Clearer highs, tighter mids and bass, and more defined too. And louder! 

So yeah, three cheers for unconventional!
