Cool, thanks for posting. Does anybody know what kind of mics they are using?

 

 

No, but BB's J45 is plugged in, which would suggest that his instrumental sound is largely Baggs Element. Every video I've seen of him playing that guitar and plugged in sounds great, really acoustic and how I'd expect a Gibson slope to sound. Always restores my faith in the Element. Now we'll find out that he's replaced it with some really fancy system...

Was his guitar plugged in or did he just have a foot pedal tuner? They harken back 50 years to the folk scare and it brings back sweet memories of coffeehouses a long time ago.

 

I think BB is plugged in. Joe has a second mic, down at guitar level. BB does not.

Cool! Joe Henry is playing an Ark New Era Senorita (12 fret model) built by Tony Klassen. These are his takes on the old Bacon and Day model played by John Fahey. The base price is $4875.

 

Fred Sokolow sometimes plays a 14-fret version of the Senorita. It has a remarkably "old-timey" sound and feel when played with nickel silver fingerpicks.
