Why these settings

To emulate an authentic Taylor acoustic guitar on a Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster, the neck+middle 'in-between' position provides the necessary scooped quack and glassiness. The GP-100 Acoustic model and post-EQ compensate for magnetic single-coil warmth by carving out the 400Hz–800Hz region and boosting top-end sparkle above 3kHz. Keep amp gain virtually flat to preserve absolute acoustic headroom.

PRO TIPPick closer to the bridge saddles (sul ponticello) rather than over the neck pickup to increase string attack snap and reproduce the crisp percussive definition of steel acoustic strings.
