Archtop with tweeter - yay or nay?

The Parker Nylonstring sounds a lot less strident than his models made for steelstrings and I have to give it to the player : his left hand technique is pretty good ! No excessive finger-noises, very...

Nylon Strung Ken Parker - could interest some

Perhaps you could upload to YouTube Music. The video wouldn't seem to be that important, considering it was a radio broadcast. You can make the playlist unlisted, which means only users with the...

Jimmy Raney - May 24, 1989 - WFPL Radio - Louisville, Kentucky

I like the adjustable tweeter on my raezers edge cabinet. I keep it on but at a very low output level, just barely enough to add a little air and dimension to the tone. I don’t like the full blast...

Archtop with tweeter - yay or nay?

https://youtu.be/P80L_z2QjAk?si=wx7q40GCdzgG4F2V Some interesting analysis of statements made by PRS.

Les Paul vs. PRS

Most tweeters start putting out usable signal between 1.5 and 2 kHz. You can’t just wire a tweeter in as a second full range driver, so some kind of a crossover is required if only to block...

Archtop with tweeter - yay or nay?

AFAIK, Joe and John Pisano were best friends to the end (at least that is what John Pisano told me). I still think it is sad that Joe's best friend and son would become bitter enemies after his...

Did Joe Pass NOT care much for his Ibanez JP20??

Joe's carved D'Aquisto was sold to a rich collector pay for medical bills after his cancer Diagnosis. Joe's plywood D'Aquisto was in the possession of Joe Jr. when I talked to him 20 years ago. It...

Did Joe Pass NOT care much for his Ibanez JP20??

Yes, that was interesting, I hadn't heard of him, which is unusual. He's an associate professor at Berklee, you know :smile-new:

Avant-Garde Music and Art. Discussions?

The story of my 175 will haunt me to the grave. I got my first guitar (a United Elitone flattop for $10 new) at 9. By the time I was 11, I’d gotten good enough to justify a better guitar, and my...

Tell me your guitar selling stories (good or bad)

All art will always change. Notwithstanding that, there's no harm in remembering, appreciating, acknowledging and enjoying great periods of art from the past. As has been said: "It's about preserving...

Wynton vs Herbie 1985

I use the tweeter on my RE Stealth 10ER cabinet. It's just too dark for my taste without some tweeter. It's adjustable, and I tend to run it between 1/4 and 1/2 up, depending on the head, the...

Archtop with tweeter - yay or nay?

I get it. But then why do archtops sound so much brighter through FRFR?

Archtop with tweeter - yay or nay?

The search engine is a bit quirky. I typed "Carvin," and while I got the Carvins, I got a bunch of other stuff that begins with C. Celestion, Cardinal, Custom...

Not many, if any, do - certainly private sellers. I've been looking at a lot recently for that purpose. From your post it sounds to me as though it's something a seller should or is obliged to do....

Brazilian Rosewood and CITES

Or maybe it's one of the very few that has been recorded properly? Sadly I'm not aware of any recordings at all of the "classical archtops" Alan Carruth has built. Those are probably the only ones...
