A-1's are basically the same as A's but had brown strained back sides and neck which allowed for woods w flaws to be used, similar to a Gibson L-7 in that regard which also meant less finish work and...
Less Bling.
The Style A was meant to compete price wise with a Gibson L-10 and the A-1 competed price wise with the Gibson L-7. Like the L-7, an A-1 should not have a sunburst back. Those A-1's...
Stills and Young played Gretsch White Falcons with Buffalo Springfield and still play them a lot to this day.
Joe is usually playing a Tele or a Les Paul, but he has a signature Duesenberg...
Use the back for serving most cheeses. But the strings are spaced right for mozzarella slices to go on pizza. And a thin Tele also works well as a pizza peel, especially if you add a belly cut and...
I've seen video of Steven Stills playing an archtop (Guild?) with Crosby-Stills-Nash-Young, and Joe Walsh sometimes played a Guild archtop with The James Gang. Seems like I've seen a clip of that...

I'd definitely just work something out for this. It's going to be a while...
It's funny I just started working on this as well. But to me Freddie Green comping isn't just going chuga-chuga four to the bar hitting the same voicing but changing voicing on every beat (moving at...
I see a lot of archtops in videos and occasionally in concert not in the jazz realm. For instance--Bonnie Raitt's vintage ES 175. And all the Gretsches out there popularized by Brian Setzer among...
Wonderful idea. I think for most of us 160-180 could be a reasonable tempo. Maybe two times through, once at a slower tempo and then again a bit faster?
Here's my discussion about the next phrase followed by running through mm 1-16 at about 160-170 bpm. Hope it helps someone, or at least encourages them that they are not the worst player on the...
Thanks for your input.
