You've seen the movie crossroads :-?
In fact, the reality is sometimes faster than mails - since yesterday I've a 
Marshall AS80R at home :-))))))))). 
Thats no Amp for a Les Paul, I think, but you have to say a step in your 
direction. Most playing I do in the moment is with another guy one time a 
week acoustic. He's playing a National Duolian and I'm changing between my 
Takamine and National Style O. 
The Marshall would be great to play in small clubs without own aplifikation, 
because he has a Microphone channel too.
But perhaps can you or some other who is reading this help with two problems:
1. How many $ is a Higlander Pickup for a National Style O in the USA? Here 
they want 600 DM (maybe around 330 US $). Much money for a pick-up without 
mounting it :-((((
2. On my new amp are a lot of buttons with some letters written on it, in 
fact 29. The most I understand, like Volume, lo - mid - hi, Reverb, Output 
Volume etc.
Problem 2a is the transducer section with buttons named Volume, FBF1, FBF2 
and Attack. I got no manual with the amp. I think FBF1 and FBF2 could be the 
stereo channels, but I'm not shure. And whats attack?
Problem 2b is the buttom labeled chorus with the adjacent buttoms
- Resonance
- Intensity
- Rate and
- Modulation.
The chorus changes the sound, but what does a chorus really do?
Every help is welcome. Thanx in advance
MFG,
   Lutz
