But it hasn't been easy. This self-taught tinkerer - who started building one-of-a-kind acoustic guitars for legendary musicians in the '70s and early '80s - only turned to sound amplification after an eye-opening experience with&amp;nbsp;Ry Cooder. &quot;[After that] I spent so much time thinking about pickups,&quot; he remembers, &quot;I stopped building guitars.&quot;  During our chat, Baggs recounts the ups-and-downs of perfecting pickups, the importance of a pre-amp for gigging musicians, his work for various brands (including Breedlove) and describes how he's returned to his first love... building acoustics.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; It's a fascinating chat with one of the music industry's true pioneers.&amp;nbsp;  Acoustic Voices: A Guitar Podcast is an all-new collaboration between Breedlove Guitars and the Fretboard Journal magazine. We hope you enjoy it. Our music is by Luke Basile. https:\/\/breedlovemusic.com\/ https:\/\/www.fretboardjournal.com\/  Love the show?
