L1Picker Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I've had her for about a week now and after some adjustments and a good cleaning, she's a fine guitar. There's an audio sample Here. And of course, some pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 6string, Looks beautiful....sounds good too. Didn't realize you were a jazz player. Were you finger picking and using a pick at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was finger picking in the beginning and then switched to a pick toward the end when I added a couple of single note runs. I'd like to change out the tone/volume pots for something more responsive, but other than that, I like what I'm getting from it. I normally use Thomastik-Infeld Swing series strings in 13's, but I put some D'Addario Chrome 11's on this time because it was all my local music store had in a flatwound. I ordered some TI 12's to try on the next string change. I recorded it through a Roland Cube 60 on the JC setting and captured it with a Shure SM57 to a Korg D888 recorder.

JefferySmith Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Woo Hoo! It looks brand new. Did you get it second hand? The workmanship on it looks very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it online from Mass Street Music. I had been looking at it on their site for quite some time and when they did a price drop, I couldn't pass it up. It came with a TKL hard case, and there were some foam inserts for the f-holes to reduce feedback when plugged in. Can't see using them anytime soon, but I've got them in there.

dubstar Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 sounds and looks great...can I inquire of some of the chords you were playing, or some basic tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1Picker Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks, guys. Dubstar... I don't have any tab for that, I was just noodling. Mostly 6, 7, and mi7 chords, with some walking bass at points to tie them together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
