      I imagine Norm knocks a few bucks off the price. Norm would much rather this go to a player like Jonathan for less who's gonna take it out and play a style of music it was made for and is rare to see these day, rather then getting top dollar from a guy who's just gonna hang it on his wall because it's pretty or will baby it and not use it.

    That is about the same age as my grandmother. 1929. Had to put a nice set of headphones on. What a treat to get to listen to a master guitar player playing one of the best guitars in history.

    As Jonathan discusses, acoustic archtops are much more versatile than even long-time guitar players sometimes realize. There still seem to be so many who hear one of these and react in a _huh???_ way, as if they have no idea of how they can be put to use. Of course those of us who are jazz and swing players dream about a guitar like this historic '28 model that was designed to cut through horns and chunk out swing rhythm without a load of flattop-type overtones. Jonathan's right again about the difference that parallel bracing makes for swing -- x-bracing may be more versatile for those who want that, but parallel, as on this '28, is what the purist wants. Pre-kerfed era is better still!

    Norm knows how to lure the great Jonathan Stout back, so he can entertain us with more brilliant guitar playing!

  • @jdw174
    @jdw174 Před 21 dnem

    My uncle used to play this style. He had three L-5's and listening to him play is what got me into guitar, although I certainly never reached his level. He played various clubs and was as talented on keyboard as he was on guitar. Sadly, after his death, his home caught fire and all his instruments were lost. One of those guitars was apparently a one-off, and he related to me that he had been contacted by Gibson with an offer of any guitar they currently made if he would return that one to them. I don't know which one it was, but I would have loved to have seen it.

      I probably don't need the baritone Hummingbird if I'm just self-entertaining, either. I guess a dreadnought is versatile enough for convenience sake even though I've watched plenty vids about different acoustic models but almost none has the look or sound that I'm quite going for that these have big bodies but a more definite sound or whatever.
