Beautiful sound
Hi Mr. Rhythm Man, i have to be honest with you. I can feel your love for these Archtops, an that is wonderful. Do you think, its possible for you, to improve your playing skills a little bit, to make it easier, to get an idea of the real sound of those lovely instruments?
Thanks for stopping by. Time is a real commodity and I’m sure we all would like to improve our playing. I’m not sure what you were hoping for, but keep in mind that these videos are not intended as performances. They are just to allow a direct example or comparison of the sound of guitars. As in this video, just a couple of short passages are played, one being a very simple more Freddie Green style and another to give an idea of clarity using some chords that could easily get very muddy. One thing I learned years ago when I started doing this is there is no way to please everyone.
@@ThatRhythmMan Thanks for your reply, you are a honest man. I understand, what you are saying. I hope your love for these fine guitars never stops!
The TV Jones T90s are far superior! So much more added dynamics! Great demo!
I agree completely and that’s with the hum canceling dummy coil in the circuit, so it’s a direct comparison.
One the best guitars, ever made! 56’ that’s the year I was born!😊 classic!
The cutaway because Bill Haley of course
I'm guessing this is sold?
Correct, it has sold. We have a 1936 Broadway coming soon after a refret.
OMG! That thing is gorgeous!! And sounds immense!
Strings may make the difference .It seems the gibson 34 have heavier strings and low frenquences are louder. The reissue sounds like a flat top in accordance of the request of the current customers of the 21st century..Very nice guitar but not the same as the one of 34. N
That is my dream archtop, unfortunately it was out of my price range. 😪
How much$
www.thatrhythmman.com/product-page/1995-comins-chester-avenue-18-inch-archtop
I suspect the reissue will sound better after a few decades of being wailed on. Archtops can be a little tight until they really get used for a while and they are designed really to take some punishment.
I have heard these open up considerably with heavy play.
A very fine archtop from Gibson's golden era!
Reissue sounds much boxier and drier. It seems louder, which is one thing it has going for itself. But the 33 has a definitely sweeter sound.
love the Epiphone bark
It sure has it!
Add price and contact info bro
Check it out thatrhythmman.com. Lots more to see there and more always on the way.
Why not add what the price is?
Prices aren’t static. That’s why I recommend visiting my website.
wonderful,
Gorgeous tone
All sound pretty crappy to me. I don't see why anyone would want one.
Would you care to share what sounds not “crappy”?????
@@ThatRhythmMan Compared to pretty much ANY ordinary acoustic guitar that ISN'T an archtop.
Looks like we definitely disagree! Enjoy those flattops then.
If you really play the right jazz chords instead of these campfire chords and adjust the sound of the Super 400 in the right way, it will sound amazingly nice. Listen to recordings of late and great Barney Kessel and you know what I mean.
Gosh! I guess I better learn the “right” chords! Seriously though, that guitar is very nice, but no amount of adjustments will make that carved top guitar with a “new” CC pickup and electronics will never sound like Kessel’s modded ES-350 with a vintage pickup. Ask Bruce Forman.
Indeed it is a nice guitar .I saw and heard Barney Kessel playing live many times with his ES 350 and he had a great you call it modded- I call it a “ dark brown” sound. Loved it. I do not like the way new owner Bruce Foreman is playing Barney’s sacred instrument.
The mod was the Charlie Christian pickup in place of the original P90. The fretboard has also been replaced.
Surprised that the Blackstone more than held it's own vs the L5. The D"A reigns supreme. Blackstone better than Armstrong.
Definitely never underestimate a NY Epiphone! Even the low end ones are often very competitive with much more expensive guitars. A Gibson L-48 or even an L-50 usually can’t stand up to a Blackstone. Like most Epiphones, they can give you a lot more guitar for the money.
what kind of strings are on the Blackstone?
All four guitars have Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze 12-53.
Nice demo. Thanks for sharing.
those blackstones have a uique bark and mids which I love. reminds me of the efinished early 30s Epiphone Deluxe you had that I lusted after. they all have that period tone. I'll take all four. Check is in the mail. Ship to SW 123 Main St. Buffalo, NY ty
Holy ***** I have a Blackstone, looks like yours--even to the replacement black pickguard. (Stew-Mac has 'tortoise shell' pattern plastic bbut I've been too lazy....) I've had it since 1979.
What a beautiful set of guitars and a great demonstration. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Yup, interesting one. Just miss a clean sound demo. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic ❤😊
Nice but the p90 are kinda blasphemy.
I get how some people feel that way, but I also think that the Tone Spectrum pickups were a big weakness in the NY Epiphones. They paled next to the Gibson pickups in my opinion. A few Epis got some DeArmond made pickups and those sound great.
@@ThatRhythmMan Yeah been trying to call Epiphone to get a lose pair of New Yorkers from the new 150th RI, but they are hard to reach. I think I will go with firebirds instead or 3D print some replicas myself. ( I need the 1947 version).
If I remember correctly those reissues are actually humbuckers. The original NY Epiphone pickups were single coils.
@@ThatRhythmMan But they look the part.
I would say #1 is the '47 Exel and 2d surprisingly and it was close the 1940 Style B. The 1950 really shined with chord melody. I think that X Bracing gave it sweetness buth otherwise lacked the Punch but of course I am nitpicking. I liked them all. The snakehead had a certain something and I bet it really shines on the older music.
What strings do you use fro these? What is a good place to start?
These all had Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze. I also like Martin Retro Monel strings on acoustic archtops. I’m starting to test D’Addario XL and XS strings. I tend to prefer phosphor bronze, but I think Jonathan Stout uses 80/20 and I like his sound.
@@ThatRhythmMan I like his sound too. I also like the French gentleman Romsin who plays Acoustic Standards. I have some D'Addario EJ 17s and some Martin Original lights which I bought for a 00 Mahogany I like a lot but for my Epiphone Deluxe from the 50s I was wondering what other guys used. I will look for the ones u mentioned and give them a try.
Have you ever seen the old video of Johnny Smith playing "What are you doing for the rest of your life? Is that D'A he is playing? Video is about 15 years old but it is from the 70s I would guess.
I haven’t seen it. I’ll have to look for it.
@@ThatRhythmMan Let me know if you think it is a D'A. I know he bought one but he got tied in with Gibson....
Thats actually 3.2k
I own 2 EH 125s . One uses 2 6SQ7s preamp tubes, but I subbed 6SR7s metal for tone . The other has a 6SJ7 and another preamp tube .
would 4000 get me a nice one with out to much fret wear or digs
You would be very lucky to find one at that price.
what would that j smith cost
That one was $8500.
Wish we could see a head-to-head-to-head with the Epi Greeny included. In other USA vs Epi comparisons, they sound very very similar (which they should, since the pickups/electronics are the same).
Both of these sold quite a while ago. I agree that it would be very interesting though.
i'll take them both...well actually prefer the sunburst...frankly, from time to time I experience nightmares over not buying that refinished Epi Deluxe you had...
I too prefer the RK. Been awhile Chuck, hope all is well with you.
The RK is a fantastic guitar.
What a gorgeous top/paint job! Absolutely lovely :)
Rhythm Man- Both sound great. Complaint: would’ve liked to have heard the EH 150 pushed some. Like Charlie Christian was playing at Mintons ( 1941). ( maybe it’s an original speaker and didn’t want to do that) Complaint #2- would’ve liked to have heard different volumes and tempos. P.s. nice job playing 👍 Maybe another video review???
I won’t rule out more demos of amps like these. I don’t currently have an EH-150 in house, but I imagine there will be another.
4th place Gibson cutaway. 3rd Gibson Non Cutaway but excelelnt. 2d the Stromberg but best at Comping and the winner was the D'Angelico. The tone on the chord melody and single string melody kind of had a Johnny Smith kind of sound.
These are all great guitars, but I would probably rank them the same.
Well Yes it's like comparing HOF baseball players Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Stan Musial and Henry Aaron. The worst one is better maybe than anyone else except maybe D'Aquisto.@@ThatRhythmMan
The Cutaway was very good but The Non Cutawy had the sound everyone really wants. No real contest.
What an incredible waste of $17,000
Looks like the mic distance/position is substantially different (closer) for the L4…which probably affected the tone quite a bit.
The mic placement is the same, but the camera is closer. That skews the appearance of the mic placement.
I think I liked the 45 & 47 Excels the best, for evenness and projection. The Style "B"s and snakeheads were also impressive. The first New Yorker, a little tubby in spots, the second much better. They are all most impressive.
i have the epiphone greeny version, are the 50k and 20k versions greenybuckers wax potted? the USA version has the same greenybuckers as the Epiphone i hear a slight difference in the murphy lab and USA version. I put a set of Greenybuckers on my Lazarus and wow , they took my guitar to another level. it would be nice if gibson sold wax potted greenybuckers . good review thanks Rhythm Man
Hello, may I ask which set of Throbaks are on the 57? I think they sound the best. The MHS sets sound surprisingly nice on the 60!
The MHS are great pickups, seriously. The ‘57 has the standard SLE-101 Throbak set.
@@ThatRhythmManThank you, really appreciate that!
❤looking very nice keep up the great works
Is there an impedance selector for the main speaker swap? Or is the switch on the back for the external cab a universal mode type thing.
I’m not 100% certain, but I think the selector switch works for both speaker jacks.
I have the manual right here in front of me. The switch in the back is both for the internal speaker as for external ones.
Thanks Ray, I have two and neither came with a manual. Its nice to be sure before you start swapping parts.@@raytorvalds3699
@@evanpaulsmithfalconfogolin6147 You are very welcome :) Yeah, for sure. Don't want to ruin your amps.
@@evanpaulsmithfalconfogolin6147 Oh, one thing about that. When you hook up a cabinet to the external speaker jack and want just that cabinet (and get the impedance right), you have to disconnect the internal speaker. It doesn't do that automatically, like some amps do.
The L-7 ate the L-5's lunch. I had a 1934 L-7 and regret it going away.
