Hi Jack...Message sent your way...

I have the L280TN pickup in two guitars and like it a lot. It is dead silent in regard to hum. It's a bit airier, clearer than a traditional Tele...

It hasn't really got a harmony, that's the point, it's just one sound block after the other. We're so used to looking for tonal centres and cohesion...

Thanks for that reassurance. I think I"m so enamored with the great ones, I am more aware of how far short of them I come rather than just listening...

HA! I never learned the head to ND. I tried it, and tried it, and just didn't hear a melody there. Listened to the recordings, and just didn't enjoy...

Well I did cheat a little... left out the dominants in the A section, just played over GM7 and EbM7. Tried to shoe-horn some bop licks in there, but...

Thank you for the kind words. Sometimes efforts we think are "throw-away" are actually not as bad as we feared... not as good as we'd hope either...

Yeah, and when you're done playing you can cook your dinner on it :cool: I used to have an old Premier, new old stock from a closed mom and pop store.

I looked around the internet with google. I could not find any answers. There are interviews and articles where he talks about that magical ES-125...

Lawson, I wish I was on your level. I'm at the stage where just playing the head to these times is a struggle.

There's a LOT of freedom to make melodic solos when there's this much open space. It can be scary to jump into that much open space, so it's up to...

On the tele he's using the neck pickup. On the Collings he's using the bridge. A bit of an apples vs oranges.

Is the chair silent enough to use while recording?

I don't feel like I get the harmony of this tune either. But, that didn't stop you from playing some nice ideas over it.

wonderful playing from all involved...good production as well...the low end on your grisard is viola-esque good group cheers

Very kind of you Rob, thank you! I miss your archtop playing but have thorougly loved watching/listening to your recent videos.

I dunno, but for someone who thought they didn't "fit it" to this thread... That was a pretty tasty solo. NICE feel. Some phrases sat in the back...

I bought an 80's (I'm assuming since it was the 1980's) burgundy Rickenbacker 360 for $400 in 1985 with money I had saved up doing odd jobs, etc.,...

I like both versions. You can hear his development... But man, what a powerful pickup, it sounds vintage and modern at the same time.

Jeff, I agree with Sonny Greenwich and Tisziji Munoz and the Coltrane link. There was some mention of archtop and overdrive earlier. I read...

The difference in crunch make this a tough comparison. I prefer the cleaner tone on the tele video personally. I love the looks of the Collings though

I don't think anybody got closer to Tranes concept on guitar than Sonny. Maybe Tisziji Munoz...but its close.

Marinero I would be willing to make the sacrifice to go and see Ms. Rhyzkova in person. I may even look at the guitar. Maybe. ? jk model year 1952

Really nice playing, old friend! I've listened to it three times. Very nice!

Congrats, a truely special instrument. Nice sound and great playing.

I tried both - and I actually had Bill do exactly what you are proposing. He sold me a 1 pickup model with the TOM bridge. I did notice a difference...

As I said before, I love Grant Green's playing. And Search for New Land is one of my favorite Lee Morgan albums. Grant Green was on everything!...

Is this a standard feature for this model?

Wow, I have that amp! A 1960 Ampeg Mercury. Although it could also be a Rocket as noted. But I believe the Rockets came later and this is the 1961...

I had that same pickup combination in an Epiphone Les Paul. Great sounding pups! And that Heritage is a real looker! Congratulations, and play it...

I get your point, Marinero. Tatyana is one of the "creators" I support via Patreon and the videos there are often more casual in appearance and...

As usual, the Canadians are understated and classy. I like the way the veneered surface is chamfered to show off the edge.

I can't say I love the headstock, but the guitar is an iconic design for sure and definitely belongs in a museum. However I just don't know what...

Looks amazing! Would be in the market if I hadn’t recently bought a Junior Barnyard

correct. The GCS 1 is maple and rosewood; the GCS-1ES is spruce top and ebony board.

I too am a 1954 vintage, and retired a few years ago. I am comforted by the thought that the ‘Golden Period’ in violin making for Antonio Stradivari...

BTW Tatyana Ryzhkova has some good warmup/exercise videos (haha “exercise videos”) online, highly recommend.
