Congrats, Stefan! That is lovely. I like especially your idea of swapping out the pickups for Lollars, and that laurel fretboard is gorgeous. Play it in good health for a good long time!

Such a difference between the clips just two months ago in the beginning of the thread! It's really inspiring me to practice this style, being so hip to listen to. One thing that I believe comes...

The Summer of Rhythm Guitar 2024

Just did a quick Autumn Leaves to show how I would personally use this sound. There's no denying it's 'raised eyebrows' but I do like it. Stream Underpigs by Christianm77 | Listen online for free...

Maj7 arpeggio over Dom7 chord question

Thomastik 12s are too light, and plinky on the E and B. Put on a Daddario 13 and 17 and it sounds much better, although hard to bend. I’m going to try Chrome 12s next, then Thomastik 13s (Epiphone...

String gauge on your archtop?

I like the philosophical direction that this thread has taken. Of course, what piece of gear is perfect and what can be improved is quite subjective. Sometimes I think Wes had the right attitude- the...

How do you feel about modelers?

Yeah these conversations always come back to vocabulary. I always like to think of the opening phrase in Wes’s Misty solo.

Maj7 arpeggio over Dom7 chord question

None of it sounds right unless you understand how to phrase. People over concentrate on harmony at the early stages. There are no hip notes, just as there are no wrong notes. There's good players and...

Krivo Pickup

I remember a before and after Stella for me. It's a hard tune and it took me a while to be ok with it. I'm still exploring it.
