The string figure in that part of the song was supposedly composed by Carol Kaye in the studio but it's almost identical to the one that runs through Nights in White Satin from the previous year. An...

What are these chords

Coming back to Stella, I hear that opening C#°7 as linked to the end of the tune. A similar example might be how the final ii-V (C#-7 F#7) of Giant Steps sets up the initial I (Bmaj7). With that in...

Analyzing

That bridge seems too high, as does the pickup. The f-hole looks distorted too: the inner edge seems lower than the outer edge. All clear signs of a sinking top. Perhaps a brace broke or became...

Epiphone Zephyr Regent

This is the part that always baffled me: Given the hardwood block down the center, how do you get the hollow part to contribute to the sound/tone at low volumes? Is a bit more volume required? ...

This is a relatively painless place to sell an archtop, but it's only going to reach a small audience, and there's not that many new members, most here might already have what they want, need or can...

Something just isn’t right when an L-4, priced significantly lower than a custom shop plank guitar, won’t sell. My wife or kids will have to sell my L-4 as I don’t ever plan to as long as I can still...

I did my sell my 1977 Gibson Super 400ces to a fantastic young player named Raphael Silverman here in NYC. He's been playing it at every gig and just loves it. There's hope yet!

I think the main quest is not for a louder box but for better sound quality. Loudness seems to be a secondary issue, as stated: Whether a replacement speaker will sound "better" is a whole...

Here's a go at Time After Time. I learned the Jeff Arnold arrangement for the study group. As I've been practicing it I've slowly been replacing some of his stuff with some of my own. I started...

Don't know about differences in early and late models. I have a Gibson 335 (late 90's I think) and a Heritage 535 (early one.. probably 1989). Just never have cared all that much for either one. ...
