There isn’t a style music JD just doesn’t tone crush. Dude was, is and always will be one of the greats.
Edit: I do miss his Marshall tone though, my fav JD era

Best Carter Vintage video ever. Shame they didn't gift this to JD. America needs guitar sounds like this on every airwave.

Ever? This one is better IMHO

Great demo, way to kick it into gear towards the end and then end with that sweet neck position, then the slide work!! Whew!! That was some mighty fine a pickin and a playin!!

[@GazMoz78]

This is so inspiring. JD is a fantastic player, oh and the guitar's quite nice too.....😊

[@suzukiyesteryear]

Micheal Bluefield, the quintessential example of a light burning twice as bright…but sadly only half as long.
Electric Flag was thee most kick ass band in The Classic Era of Rock & Roll..

[@ImprovGuitarJams-Bri]

Certainly not a crazy statement by no means, all top notch musicians with a unique sound.

[@gordonbradley9705]

That Vibrolux is the star for me, besides the always amazing JD Simo of course!

[@Rocks4You97]

love your slide playing

[@boco1951]

That's guitar with someone giving it a lot of things to say!
Nice JD!

[@connordoran179]

Absolute monster on the guitar

[@tymanngruter1808]

A pure gem in the right hands! ♨️

[@arottie4097]

W0W!

[@handle433]

Loved the JJ Cale sounding neck pickup piece. Sounds great!!!

[@Patrick-fm5dk]

Thank you Carter for reuploading this with the talking separate.

[@SoundCastle00]

I would also add to read David Dann's Guitar King for sure😊

[@gregdolecki8530]

Sounds like a Strat. Imagine that..

[@jeffgualandijr9420]

what are those things on the headstock?

[@popeye089]

From the Carter site “Some sort of tension system, on the headstock, was used for the sympathetic strings and there are metal remnants of that visable.”

[@jeffgualandijr9420]

@@popeye089 wow interesting. Thanks man

[@deaterk]

Saw JD when he was a kid doing his stint at Robert’s. It was obvious then that he was something special and has only gotten better and more authentic if that’s possible…

[@andrewclemons8619]

Great playing but the tone wasnt for me

[@rockdanger]

Yeah, way too brash and piercing.

[@craigfarley7030]

Just greasy
