Love seeing this. No better point for an amazing instrument to exist than to be in the hands of an amazing musician. Cheers.
A beautiful guitar in the hands of a master.
A truly masterful, pleasing and intelligent instrument in the hands an exemplary player.
That guitar is gorgeous Tim. Even moreso with your playing, I’ll have to keep my eye out for these!
Congrats Tim !! it's a beauty ... très cool !
Great guitar! It reminds me of Joe Pass' sound on his album 'Virtuoso'
Nice definition string to string and acoustic tone equal to the classics.
Congrats on a great collaboration.
With, as you put, "a little more pickup", man....that sounds beautiful. Thanks for sharing Tim!
That's a happy Tim with a sweet axe...Yay!
Tim this is wonderful and I appreciate your amazing and inspiring videos. I also wanted to make mention, in case you did not know: Kent Armstrong makes a jazz inspired "quad rail". They are a hair pricey and might not be in your asthetic, though you could have the "rail" split so that the two closet to the neck would imitate a humbucker "ending" around where a normal double coil would. I hope I'm explaining myself in the way I'm intending though I know I'm super sensative to where humbuckers are located so it is an option. Thank you for all you do.
Congrats. She's a a beauty!
that guitar sounds amazing and looks very beautiful and unique too
Sweet as always, has a tele silhouette with archtop sound .
Sounds absolutely beautiful.
Perfect combination: archtop + tele
That is a beautiful guitar, Tim. I was particularly impressed by the acoustic tone, it sounded like a bigger archtop! Ah, if only i had the money... thank you, :)) Rich Uk :)
What a lovely guitar! Sounds great! Or maybe it's just your great playing.
My sons first name is Bram. Might have to buy this one (too).
Like that better than the Collings JL loaner. It's warmer, creamier. Glad you managed to snag that one.
NGD ...congratulations. A good new guitar is a BIG deal . It sounds great acoustically !
Wonderful playing and beautiful guitar. Enjoy!
Congratulations on the guitar! Looks great and sounds great! Love the color choice as well!
Very nice sound comfortable sound I like it alot
Happy NGD, Tim! It's an utterly jaw-dropping guitar to my eyes -- exquisite!
Love Tim’s work. Excellent!
gorgeous guitar
Congratulations on your lovely new addition to the family!
New guitars can be inspirational, as this one seems to be, although Tim's playing is usually inspirational. Choosing a Guild full-sized humbucking pickup (they made a mini that looks similar but smaller) is interesting, as is moving the pole pieces off the nodal point at the "24th fret". I find doing that makes a subtle but significant change to the timbre, like on a SG. It seems to effect the overtones, for better or for worse is in the ears of the beholder. *Tx T*
Yes, was going to mention this in my other comment -- the neck pickup on most guitars is typically at one-quarter of the length of the string from the bridge, at the node of vibration, and it just depends on your style and application as to whether it suits the playing. If I were to make the choice on a one-pickup guitar, I might have opted for similar placement for sonic reasons, not merely for the necessity of accommodating the "geometry" of the neck.
But then again, with the traditional jazz box sound you don't really need the extra overtones that creep in the closer to the bridge a pickup is placed, and the acoustic projection fills in the high end anyway, so it just goes to show that theory takes a back seat to real-world results!
Jim Hall's favorite PUp.
Thanks for bringing up the science of locating neck pickups, the overtones and everything. I am learning stuff here.
Oh no you didn't. I'm officially jealous now. Congratulations, it's definitely in the right hands.
what exactly are your needs when buying a guitar? music gear makes the notes ring in our body, kinda important when at a certain level 😊
What a gorgeous guitar! The sound is incredible too! Although I doubt it'd sound that way if I was playing it.
As soon as I became aware of these, I knew you'd eventually get one.🎸
He sent me his 2nd or 3rd guitar and I’ve been singing his praises ever since.
@@TimLerchGuitar Your playing is inspiring, maestro.
What a beauty!!
Nice! I prefer 3 on a side for anything that resembles an acoustic.
Beautiful!
That guitar looks and sounds beautiful. Also I like your playing.
Great, Tim！👍
Always wonderful
So, will it be the Tim Lerch model? If so, will have to think very long and hard about it. Shally
Wow! That is one great sounding instrument. Of course a lot has to do with the player too. A wonderful collaboration between the luthier and the player. Well done!
Wonderful
That’s a fine looking instrument!
Happy new guitar Maestro!
The Guild minihum is a great pickup.Congrats
I think I would have specified a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover or a Lollar Imperial pickup for a more Gibson-y vibe. A Johnny Smith style suspended pickup would be another interesting option. It's all a matter of preference. Tim has this guitar just singing and it sounds fantastic.
Nice. Looks and sounds great!
Congrats. Looks great.
That sounds amazing
I so hate to say it, but the minute I saw it, It just seemed like a flawless instrument. I’ve got a 2003 Hofner Jazzica (antique violin finish) that’s better than I am, and I’ll probably spend the rest of my life growing into it.
Perfection ....hands and instrument
Love it!
Gefeliciteerd Tim & Tim !! Cool 🙂
I love the Guild's HB1 PUp!!!
Jim Hall used one of those on his D A quisto. I wonder if such pickups are still available.
@@barrycooper1631 I think yes
NICE!!!! What a beauty
What a beaut!
The Tele and the ES 175 have a nice child🙂
That’s it! You understand my mind.
@@TimLerchGuitar Yes Tim, because I`m walking the same way🙂 It is a nice symbiose and a good idea.
Congrats, Tim’s guitars are spectacular! How did you guys land on the guild humbucker, interesting choice? I’m a big fan of the aesthetic of the way they do their covers, but don’t know too much about them outside of that
I had one laying around and just thought I’d try it. So far so good
Holy shit that thing sounds great .. players not bad 😉
Very cool sounding guitar. Especially impressed with the acoustic sound. Amazing. Have a question on your strap. I like how high you set the guitar almost like classical. Do you use a particularly short strap or just something standard?
great guitar. not brittle to me at all, but very transparent
with relative fat b and e-string. exactly as it shoud be, at least to my ears.
wrong bridge, Tim. was actually the very first thing i saw: bridge for unwound G,
played with wound G.. and than you talked about it.
too much work, i guess, in the trying process, to change it 3 times a day. :D
wow good eye, you noticed ! it had the plain G bridge on when i got it but right before my first performance I changed to a wound G and havent yet gotten around to changing the bridge. Its actually pretty close to being in tune so it's not too much of a proble, I'll change it next time i change strings. i guess.
yes, i did. :) i´m pretty picky in intonation, perhaps the first bridge-nerd you learned to know. :D
i listendend carefully when i saw the brigde typ and i think, it´s slightly audible in chords on the higher frets. you will love your wonderfull new guitar even more, with the right bridge. i think, the vibe often improves in general, with spot on intonation. @@TimLerchGuitar
Lovely instrument. Sounds really full. Curious as to why you choose that particular pickup.
I had one and laying around I always like the way, Jim Hall sound with his D’Aquusto that had one of these pick ups in it
I agree with the headstock design. The six a side just doesn't look right on an archtop.
Hi Tim! Beautiful playing as always. 😊 Can I ask what you have it strung with? Also, what determines your preference for a wound/unwound G on any particular guitar? Thanks!
12-52 roundwound, I tend to use plain G on solid bodies and wound G on archtops.
What scale length? Tim have you tried the Romeo Eastman, solid carved top
25 inches, no I haven’t had the opportunity
What strings do you have on it? Thanks
Daddario round round 12 to 52
Thanks!@@TimLerchGuitar
Looks like cinnamon caramel!
a Teletop
😉 P R O M O S M
Acoustically, no surprises. Through the amp, it sounds almost brittle. Just a touch too much high-end. Perhaps you might want to round down the tone knob a touch. Otherwise, it looks to be a superlative instrument. Enjoy, Tim!!
Oh thank you, I would never have realized how it sounds without your expert observations. 😂
I'll take your ex-faves off your hands.......😜😜
