Best sounding acoustic electric hybrid? I wonder how the X-Bridge would sound compared to a Crafter or other hollow body hybrid guitar. From what I've heard a piezo always will sound better in a hollow body guitar. I tried a strat a few years ago with a power bridge installed and didn't like it much. It didn't sound anything like a real mic'ed acoustic guitar, not even close.

Guitar/Print Version An octave, as the name suggest has the number 8 related with it. There are 7 major notes in music viz. C D E F G A B || C D E F G A || C D... As you further move ahead the pitch increases. The lower C has a lower pitch than the higher C, but the sound that the note creates is the same. The number of notes between the higher and lower C (Including the higher C), are 8. Thus an octave is difference between a particular note, and its higher or lower counterpart in terms of pitch. To make things clear, play any open string on a guitar and then play the same string while pressing down the string at the 12th fret (12 notes including 4 sharp notes...not important over here).
