duluthdan Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Interesting - 2 with a J-45 with the large pick guard, and once with a 2 ribbon J-200. Magnificent sound out of those last 2 clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Misleading thread title- Expecting to see the findings of an experiment where drugs were administered to a poor, unsuspecting Gibson via the beta testing of a new product, StoneRite. This could help the guitar blend in better in a band where the piano had been drinking. Instead, as it turns out, a sneaky Mr Guitar Light merely wishes to provide some examples of two guitars which are typically considered underdogs being put to good use. In this case; a Norlin-era square shouldered J-45, and an Epiphone EJ-200. Well, alright then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent sound out of those last 2 clips. Yes that j-45 in the first and second clips left me a bit uncertain as to what it was...but you have confirmed that it is a j-45..thanks for confirming it....it may be my eyes but it appears to be more dread shaped with square shoulders, or perhaps not? I'm used to seeing the round shoulder J-45's and I may be on the market for one eventually. But their sound is most appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, alright then. 62burst...thank you very much for the Norlin J-45 identification...and ALSO for bringing to my attention the Epiphone EJ200 in the third clip!!!!..believe it or not...I did not even notice it!!!.... and posted it thinking it was a Gibson!...sorry about that! I should have looked closer, but I am so involved in the process of studying so many different versions of this song that it passed my eye. I intend to cover this song publicly in the coming summer months. Not sure which guitar I'll use...I have my Hummingbird..and other guitars as well, but I prefer a round shoulder J-45 for this piece as it feels more right for this, but don't presently have one. Oh well... Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I wouldn't bet a months salary on it, but I'd be FAIRLY sure that Ashcroft is following in the footsteps of Paul Weller , who also plays a square shouldered j45. And gets quite a nice note from it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfbird Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Question I have is, can you expect the acoustic sound to reflect videos 1 & 3, where the guitar has one of those feedback-eliminating plugs in the hole? It seems the important question regarding the sound there would be which pickups were used to achieve that plugged-in sound? Strictly my amateur observation. Please enlighten me.

Even if that wasn't the case it'd be futile to assume that just because you bought a guitar that was the same as someone else's that you'd immediately sound like them. Strings , plectrums , lightness of attack , age of guitar, setup , blah blah blah . list is endles . Even if Richard Ashcroft would give me his guitar , I still wouldnt sound like his playing.

Well, the 3rd video just sounds like piezo to me. You can slap a decent piezo pickup in just about anything and tweak the EQ to get a sound like that. In the 2nd one, I see a mic in front of the guitar, but I think it's also plugged in. In the 1st video, I can't even hear the guitar. Great song, though--I always liked these guys! And I too was totally confused by the square-shoulder J-45. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
