    Does anyone know what mic he has on his archtop? I’ve been wanting to add a mic to my heritage which has the Kent Armstrong PAF…

    Is there a timestamp in that video where the mic can be seen? I'm already 4 minutes in, and while his playing is absolutely captivating, I haven't seen a microphone yet!

    Sorry I replaced with a better link. It’s taped to his guitar.

    I‘ve seen many clips where Julian used this Manzer guitar but never did I see it with an extra microphone anywhere on or in the guitar. Here he plays at conversation level so what we hear is the acoustic sound mixed with a little amp sound. The markings on the guitar are some strips of tape for the volume and tone settings, as seen on many other/earlier photos of him with this particular instrument.

    Given where on the guitar it's taped -- between the bridge and the tailpiece -- I would wager that mic is just there for the video recording documentation, not something that Lage would use for getting "his sound" (whether in performance or for a studio recording).
