62burst Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Wow- 'had to have a second cup and take a listen through the studio monitors. . . for playing with a pick, he was able to get some warm (the jazz chord) tones out of that long scale maple. The super low action you'd mentioned is actually hearable on the recording, if not for that, I'd look at the nut or saddle. But I've found that low string height does seem to be one of the ways to sweeten the maple sound, and even though the Dove's sounding really good, maybe Rick is hearing some of that, along with 80/20's that haven't been on there too long (?). Lotsa good sound to be had in that one- the first we've heard of your . . . herd😉. Thanks for putting that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I know it was for 62B, but hope you don't mind - listened to it myself. Nice sounding guitar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it was meant for all, BR- it’s just that I was teasing Dave on his NGD thread- how often NGDs are shared on the forum, and all we get are the pics. thx, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Great warm and mably-wooden voice - sounds as if it's already broken in. When is it from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Nice tone! That guitar neck looks like a toy in his hands. Must be something strange going on with the scaling or perspective of the video. Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for putting that up How soon we forget! Here's the '53 J50 I had for while And what about the LG1 comparison? The RI is the same guitar John Thomas used to compare to his LG1 Here's John with the same RI guitar. This is probably a first. Two different comparison's with one guitar in common.

Condition too nice for a 70 year old. 6 or 7 years ago, I might not've even looked at a natural demo ! JT's LG-1 demos- interesting to hear the difference in the arpeggiated chord at ~2:30 and just before the 4 min mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a reissue on the ‘53, just overspray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
