Demo trailer for the e bay listings for these two amazing guitars.

 

I should have them listed by the end of next week.

 

Recorded with sm57 on cab and AKG 1000s for room. No EQ or post production live into Motu Traveller and recorded in Logic Pro 9.

 

Amp Used Here is one for sale ( I am not connected to Jam. I did buy my 1949 LG2 from Oskar at the Copenhagen guitar show two years ago though.

I played into my Boss ME50 multi effect pedal. WIth some room reverb, a bit of delay and alternately the Tube Screamer for the lighter overdrive and the Big Muff for extreme filfth.

 

 

I will be putting the guitars on E bay and will be taking photos and putting the other data together just message me for details ahead of the listing. These are two very rare and special guitars that sound as good as anything you will find with out any doubt.

Ok, I'm confused. Is the video a half hour advertisement for an Ebay auction?

 

No I haven't put them on E Bay. I am undecided whether to sell them or not. They were on assignment with a local store and I decided to have them home and play them some, maybe do some recording with them. They are both great guitars and the more I play them the less likely I will bother to put them on E Bay. The Les Paul particularly is very rare and finding another like it even though that year is singled out as particulalry desireable in this years (2014) vintage guitar guide ´´• The 1970-’75 Gibson Les Paul Standard is hot, but must be all-original and in excellent

condition to fetch top dollar, which exceeds $4,000.´´From the introduction to the guide.

 

THe sg is a good shout Murph, I played a 1961 a few months back at our Local music store, fantastic guitar I made a video of that. MArcus is the Store owner .

It would have to be the original incarnation of Wishbone Ash, of course. Flying V and Strat and those guys could really play.

 

Duane Allman and Dickie Betts were pretty good, too, in a different way.

 

 

 

 

Hi STeve You might enjoy this seperate strings recording the player did a lot with Wishbone Ashes Guitarist.

THE KING WILL COME. We've all heard musicians' and bands (including Martin Tuner's tribute band) struggling to play this classic-rock anthem and totally getting it wrong! It isn't just about Andy Powell's classic reggae/rhythm guitar feel. The second guitar, bass and drums make the whole tune bounce along the way it's supposed to. You can get one instrument wrong with the wishbone Ash 'vibe' and then it doesn't sound right. Getting it right is the hallmark of the Wishbone Ash sound.

OK.

 

I'm up to speed now. Very Sorry for the delay.

 

Apologies, and all that, but there are a pair of time-wasting loonies hereabouts these days.

At least I now know that you're not making up the trio.

 

IMO? Keep both and add an ES-175. That's not only what I would do but what I actually plan to do myself.

I'd love to hear Mr. Sear on a 175...

Mr Sear on my Old Byrdland was something to hear Pippy an ES175 would be no less wonderfull I am sure. I am intrigued by the deeper or Full depth hollowbodies. Whilst the ES175 appeals the L5 has been my secret desire for many years even before I sold the Byrdland, or a Super 400 perhaps, there is a plainer L4 which sometimes come up for sale and they appeal both as they are less expensive and as far as I can tell sound pretty good to my ears.

 

For Hollow Body Jazz Duties these days I have a Taylor T5, it does all the thin line stuff has a very clever pick up system and produces a lot of tones it is also a very nice player.

I made my own Acoustic Guitar This Summer and might make an Archtop once I build my workshop which I am designing at the moment, I have some nice Rosewood I have bought but will keep an eye out for some other suitable Wood as the Wood I bought is for two other builds I have planned for this winter.

Vikingtone,

 

Where did that recording come from? Yes, I did like it a lot.

 

Bill Baxendale is an inventor and sound Engineer based in London Steve. He has a web site called recording seperate strings and sells precision engineered divided cable and breakoutboxes for hexaphonic processing of guitar signals. Bill produced and played the whole of that video . He is very familiar with Wishbone Ash having engineered and collaborated on a number of Andy Powell's solo projects.

Ah, well, Mr. Sear is quite something on anything at all.

I was fortunate enough to hear him on your Byrd way back at that Midsummer's Night party at your old gaff. Astonishing. Both him and the guit. And Suze, of course. Happy days.

Oddly enough my own favourite of yours was the 330. Wonderful airy tone and what a neck! Lovely.

Wow! I've only just managed to find the time to watch the clip.

That's quite something. Is there a part II?

Speaking as a grouchy old man, I'd say the only one of the bunch, excluding the 335 but including the Strat and LP, would be the 175.

 

I personally am far more comfortable with an SG as a solidbody. The 335 and similar shapes are nice, and with different pup types, etc., are quite versatile. I'm not physically comfortable with either the Strat or LP. The 335-type isn't particularly comfortable, but its versatility makes up for it. For my geometry and playing style and gig types, I'd say the 175 is about the perfect guitar. A similarly-sized flattop ditto. The SG type with pup variations is most comfortable for me in terms of a solidbody.

 

Back to the Fenders - I'm not at all comfortable with the sharp fingerboard radius nor particularly with a 25 1/2 inch scale.

 

Then again, it's a matter of if something else suits others, it tickles me plumb to death.

Hi Pippy I edited my footage down to less than 4 hours so there are a number of episodes here they are.

Thanks for that, Viking!

 

As you can imagine not having gone through the process myself there are many details which I don't quite understand - like why the zero-fret was done at a different time to the rest of the fret-work. Also my Swedish isn't quite up to the mark so I'm thankful that 99% of the conversation was in English...

 

That must have been a truly fantastic experience. Good for you.

Nice touch with the song and nice pickin' too.
