Is this Mark Whitfield's new D'Angelico???

[sgosnell]

Emmet's Place is a regular event EC from Emmet's home......featuring Emmet on piano and top names guests.....my guess is he just sat this one out (the Mark Whitfield evening)

Enjoy

He let Julius sit in for a tune. Emmet played most of the stream. He has weekly livestreams going back to the start of the pandemic, and there isn't a single bad one that I've seen. He and his trio are top-notch, and he has had the top NYC musicians on. It's worth the price of admission every week.

Always loved his drumming,

How about with walls of GIBSON guitars :

Seems to me that a floater is going to sound different than a pickup bolted to the top. In one case the p/u moves with the top,

I think the point was that a floater is designed to not interfere with the vibration of the top. Would not be a big issue if the top is laminate, but might have significant impact on a carved solid top. A pair of knobs bolted into a solid top would likewise interfere with the vibrations.

Thought I'd update with a recent Rich Severson's trial of the excel SS Soho (also the D'angelico Style B)

sounds sweet ....

There's also a comparison between GB 10 vs the SS Soho

That guitar sounds fat for such a thin guitar. Did Rich’s son Wes say it was designed by Mark Whitfield?

I am very interested in this guitar, but I will wait until the dust settles for the used market to develop.

If they made a left handed model i'd buy one..
