Hi Leen,
I own an 810ce and my buddy owns an 810 w/ an LR Baggs pickup installed. Assuming both guitars sound good unplugged, what happens when you plug them in?
The cutaway does not hurt the sound I feel, in fact I think it helps a little, takes some of the hollowness out and gives it a tighter sound when amplified. As far as electronics are concerned I don't think it hurts the sound at all, and to make a decision on whether to get the onboard prefix really depends on how you will be amplifying it. I normally use a
BOSS EQ pedal in addition to the prefix going
directly into the sound board. There are times
when the EQ is not necessary and I go straight
to a board or amp and use the prefix only.
I think having the prefix gives you a little flexibility in different playing situations.
If you have a set way you control your sound every time, with eq's effects, processors then you really don't need the onboard electronics
because you'll have some guy half way across a stadium at a sound board making sure you sound great. Hope this help you!
Peter
