BluesKing777 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Al Petteway plays 4 Pre-War guitars for us - I know the one I want, but it's a real close call: BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salfromchatham Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Loved all of those guitars. I especially loved that he ended with the Gibby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gov Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Very cool. For me it was #1 followed by #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 I watched it again, and some of their other vids - Al is a great player that is obviously enjoying his work! I changed my mind - I would take any of guitars in the vid. BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullmental Alpinist Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Very cool. For me it was #1 followed by #4. Move over Big Thumb Tony. 1 and 4 seemed to be in a pretty tight race. #1 had a better bass line to play (around 15 to 17 sec, then again around 32) whereas the Gibby was given less of a chance to show off its bass (but the final chord at about 2:04 showed its potential). Thanks for posting this BK--a great chance to hear these guitars, especially so since I recently finished reading Allen St. John's book Clapton's Guitar, which deals with guitars of this vintage. Great read. Anyone care to give us a price estimate on each of these? FMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMA I am no expert, just an internet looker - but similar Gibson seen for $5-6 Martins, well>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://mandoweb.com/Instruments/Martin-OM-28+Herringbone+acoustic+guitar-1931/3327 BluesKing777.
