Well, dolorous and sad are probably synonyms too. Not what I felt when playing it, I have to say, but the feelings created by m/maj7s are redolent...

Does the Pick Stick work like a mirror, something to use to watch the way you pick AS you're doing it, or is it a video camera that allows you to...

I’ve a 2010 sunburst for sell. Mint condition guitar that’s seen little use.

You, sir, have made my day. From one word lover to another.

The Shadow of Your Smile is worth a look at. And chords can be simplified to a degree that's now all that complicated.

The best time to plant a tree is yesterday. The dollar is the preeminent currency in the world and when the profligate Democrats (when in power,...

In this context my personal experience is just with unbound plates without tonebars, but I know (from our shared vendor) that Roger top plates with...

Amen.

Looks like a pre-1960 black bridge pickup and a post-1960 silver neck pickup.

If we're talking used, you can get a D'Angelico Premier SS Boardwalk with US made Seymour Duncan pickups for under $500. On the non-Boardwalk models...

Given the fact that the Roger machine cutting was done in the not_so_perfect 1950/60s, by employed woodworkers who weren't educated guitar or violin...

Here's some I like. The progression is straight blues in Bb Bill Jennings - Glide On - YouTube This is just a nice melody and easy. Also in...

Any pix of those plates? Very interesting! Maybe they were removed from bodies for some reason? Here's a decent shot comparing a bound Super...

Drum genius is great

7/4s quite easy actually Most Westerners feel it as an alternation of a bar of 4 and a bar of 3. So it’s a 4/4 bar grafted to a waltz bar. ...

:welcome:

:welcome:

Did someone say complicated?

This was followed in @ later '37 by more elaborate versions for the L-7, L-10 and L-12, and a bunch of changes to a new L-5 tailpiece 9note the last...

You could always try to do all these options at once, a la Mark O’Connor ? Login • Instagram

Now, where did I put my time machine? :dontknow: Oh, well! The Silver Certificates they would take are probably worth a lot more than their face...

<< The f-holes for the later Super are different from the f-holes for the Junior, Standard and Luxus models. They are routed out slightly larger to...

Gibson used this for a very brief time @'36-'37. I've seen it on the L-7 and L-5 (it may have appeared on the L-10 and L-12, but I've yet to see it...

:welcome:

That album is just sublime ... everything about it.

Looks better = more Art Deco without the F-holes.

^^^ This.

I pasted that into a Word document and printed it for ready reference.

thems were the days! bittersweet cheers

This price range 350 and under will get you a nice used Ibanez AF series. Rarely report finish, fret or neck problems. But I like Ibanez)))

It's USX: UpStrokeXscape. ;o) I agree that once can be a DWPS player without being an USX player. I like the USX motion. That seems most natural...

Here's a NOS Kluson archtop trapeze tailpiece from the end of that period. Gibson used similar Kluson tailpieces on some wartime and post-war ES-300...

Where is the Premiere SS made? At this point in life I would say what’s there to lose, only a couple hundred dollars? However I would have felt...

This whole body/neck/appearance, which do you prefer topic, reminds me of a very funny incident. Went to the local county fair with a well known...

Julian often uses the bridge pickup on his Nachocasters.

Congratulations! Always nice to hear some good news!

Are you able to do your own basic work? (bridge, nut, truss rod, etc) Can you return it if you want?

The hopping is not necessarily a bad thing, isn't it. It supports consistent alternate picking - smooth and even attack, works better with string...

Why not post it publicly here?

Sorry, I should have said that it straddles the border between dolorous and sad. John

Why in God's name would anyone want a Tele Neck pickup on an Archtop? I get the Charlie Christian pickup thing, even a P 90.

Here are a couple of shots that show some details of the German carve on a finished guitar:

Some additional notes: - The f-holes for the later Super are different from the f-holes for the Junior, Standard and Luxus models. They are routed...

If my eyes don't deceive me, this had 21 frets :triumphant:

Yup... I barely go higher than the 17th, so 18-20 is already a buffer for me, then for 20-24 I guess it's the buffer for the buffer... This is...

Lugubrious already means mournful, they're synonyms. But I blame all those min/Maj7 chords myself :-)

I'm enjoying these very much ! Nicely recorded guitar sounds...

strobo plus tuner with metronome...all in one with time variations/accents..etc....

Thanks John! I can see this is going to be my place in life ;-)

That just takes me back to the fact that these are all 24 fret necks, so that the neck pup is closer to the bridge. I was hoping the Tele-style ...

Good one, Rags. Straddles the line between mournful and lugubrious. In a good way. John

No afiliation - one of the ones I use. Free version (2 GB pcm) works well for me. I get 50 GB pcm, signed up via an offer (they come around every...

Some uncertainty still seems to exist in the international guitar world when it comes to the Roger (or real) "German carve". How can we recognize if...

Odd how much I play mine. I have better guitars but the size and tone of the SS keep it in constant use.

True about the lingo change. And in my own efforts to use DWPS/USX/whatever, I quickly found myself backing off the intentional, aggressive forward...

It does actually change to 4/4 swing in the middle but for some reason it's not that obvious. Quite funny :-)

I was surfing youtube videos of Lange a few months back and I saw him play using the Tele's bridge pickup, but I can't recall what video it was.

I didnt know that cool app! I had hard time to count 7/4.. It will be helpful! Thanks. I'll work as your advised!

Figure out if it's more like a bar of 4 plus a bar of 3, or a bar of 3 plus a bar of 4. Then download the drumgenius app, and use the metrogenius...

I think it's more about individual's habit. My problem is I always pick right above the neck PU:smile-new:

Hi. PM sent.

that was sumptuous particularly beautiful chords on the first A gorgeous ....

So sorry to learn of Tony's passing. Wow... I first learned of the great Tony Rice back when he was emerging from David Grisman's "Dawg Music"...

Thanks everyone for your well wishes and congratulations! I'm just trying to figure out how to parley this to my career advantage. Unfortunately...

:)

Like it! I like the overt bop ideas in this some kinda after-bop/still-bop tune. Nice to hear a clean archtop sound on a tune like this as well!

It's a beautiful guitar! Congratulations, and play it in good health! :encouragement: And kudos to Jay for faciltating this joyous occasion!...

Supersoul, the PerlGold guitar construction in the video above is quite different to your guitar: This one has a domed or pressed soundboard with...

:welcome: And happy New Guitar Day! That looks to be a really nice instrument. Congratulations, and play it in good health! :encouragement:

Love the figuring on the headstock! Way nice)

Happy New Guitar Day and: :welcome:

Sweet! Nice to see it, love the finish...enjoy!!!

Thanks for your reply. One thing that came to my mind looking at picture of people playing Strandbergs is that they mostly have their right hands...

Thanks Tommo. Glad you like it. Your input and video(s) finally decided me. Am definitely drwan to pick it up and play - often. Amazing value. ...

Thanks Little Jay - sorry to cuase you the work! Thanks again, David

Congrats, Henry! It's an impressive achievement! Play live . . . Marinero

Me too!

I notice SD has a couple minihumbuckers. If you believe their EQ diagrams, the one with the most mids is the "Custom", which is the hottest, I think...

Oh - I'm absolutely with you there!

Yes probably but I take any opportunity to disapprove of Brexit, it’s such a shame! :-D

Used to be the same long before Brexit - at least here in Germany...

Just adding my input to the mix of well-wishing. So happy for you!

I’ll help ya:

You belong there Henry! Congrats!

I may also be interested. Any discount for forum members? :)

Wouldn't you want something less scooped and more mid-range heavy in the neck?

I think Country/Session guitarist Brent Mason use the same minihumbucker in his guitar. He gets a great sound on his few jazz tunes.

PM sent.

Just put your phone in airplane mode.

Whoo-hoo! Well-deserved recognition! Congratulations! :encouragement:

:welcome: ES-175s are wonderful jazz guitars. Good luck in your quest! :encouragement:

Droooooooollllllll I'd love to have that

That is a truly special instrument! I've only had experience with one original CC pickup - in a Roy Smeck Recording King that a friend had restored....

It’s a fancy Hofner Club... I guess it’s a Club 60.

This comes late and call it a bump in disguise if you will. I had just my first test runs with the BAM200 - Fender Tre-Verb combination. It's right...

Very nice! You play a lot of really beautifull jazz lines. Best Kris

NIce one. I like the slower feel and the way you build the intensity of the solo. John

Not much you can do. Using a good patch cord?

Darn, you can only watch that episode online on the BBC webside if you're in the UK...damn you Brexit!
