Very, very nice! Great sound, great playing! Sweet and elegant.

On my system, and with my elderly ears, I would have liked to hear a bit more of your comping guitar and the bass in the mix. A little less of the percussive tik-tik. But that's not on the players, that's probably just me and my set-up. And a stupid nit to even mention, really, because...

Overall, super nice indeed!

[ruger9]

That was lovely!! Really enjoyed that!!

[xld]

Nice...Sweetness all around!

[BradGuitar]

Elegant is a lovely way to put it. Lovey tone from the Archtop Tribute and lovely playing from your good self (and everyone for that matter!)

[JeanSut]

Thanks to all of you! I appreciate your kind words!
The goal of the recording was to have a demo for corporate gigs, etc. .
I will probably post more vids when they are ready.

Sounds fantastic in every way. You're hired!

[Fred Archtop]

Music is good when players have something to tell. Great rendition. Will you come to my party?

[Zigracer]

Beautiful!

Good confirmation of the value offered in that guitar, but I suspect it has as much, if not more to do with your touch and elegant playing and feel. Sounds like classic 175 tone to me! If I didn’t already have one, those Archtop Classics would be a strong contender for both tone and price.

[2bornot2bop]

Like it? Love it!!! That’s classic Bossa Nova!

Thx for keeping BN alive!

The Sax sounds like a Selmer Mk VI!

[AllanAllen]

Really great video, I hope it gets you some gigs.

[JeanSut]

Thanks again to all of you!
Yes, the Archtop AT 105 does the 175 thing very well. It came with a wooden bridge that I changed for a tom bridge for more sustain and a fatter tone.
A friend of mine plays a ES 165 (90s) with a set humbucker and I could compare them side by side for a
weekend. I liked his a little bit better, but hearing both on a recording it was hard to say which one sounds better.

What amp is this thru?

[JeanSut]

My amp is a Quilter TB202
paired with an Eminence 12 speaker.
