When i heard the guitar, I could easily recognize the muffled Jim Hall D'aquisto sound. I'm not found of it, but George Benson sure turned it into magic. I instead like carved tops despite the hurdles of capturing their beautiful tones outside a recording studio. Anyway, i found an acoustic carved top D'Angelico copy I could afford. The neck has sky slope issue i have to get fixed. It has a brighter sound with less midtones than a vintage L5 which i have to work around. It seems to fit my acoustic fingerstyle better than an electric because it captures the subtleties of my picking and note bending so I can mix blue grass and acoustic jazz. Anyway, the songs from the era of jazz guitar you played sound fantastic without how i usually hear them all smothered in reverb, which I hate. So I think I will check them out to see if I can blend that sort of stuff into my acoustic jazzbilly mix. I particularly like those rhythmic George Benson strums.
Didn't know some of those Fender Jazzers were American. You probably heard of Rich Severson, a Jazzer, if not, we'll worth checking out. I could imagine as you made this video, Bob was hunting around his house wondering where he left that bloody Fender! All the best Ramon
Some nifty playing Senior Goose (as I've come to expect)
Always nice to hear something different.👍
Thank you Greg!!!
