The Solidac is all about versatility. The humbucker-single-hum
bucker pickup design is considered to be the most powerful of
commonly used pickup configurations. Add to that the acoustic
pre-amp and the Solidac could easily become the only guitar
you'll ever need.

The second output jack (Output #2) is an Acoustic/Mix output.
When this output is used by itself it outputs the regular pickups
as well as the acoustic bridge transducers.
If both output jacks are used the signal from the magnetic pick
ups is removed from the Acoustic/Mix (Output #2) which now
becomes a dedicated acoustic bridge transducer output. This
feature enables you to separate the pickup output from the
the bridge transducer signal output to a P.A. or acoustic guitar
amplifier.
