MartyGrass Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 First, I did not do this recording. I could not play this well. I barely figured out how to post it from reverbnation. To help you guess, the strings are Elixir Polyweb 10s. Here's how to play the game. 1. Listen to the sound file. 2. Guess the guitar. It was made at Heritage. The choices begin with hollow, semihollow or solid body. Tomorrow I'll give the right answer. Then we get into which model in the category. Some of you will know which class of guitar it is right away. But can you tell the woods and the pickups? Hmmm. http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_11569306 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
je00143 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'd like to know which amp you are using and what the settings might be. Sounds fantastic!@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurph1 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Sounds Beautiful..I'm going out on limb and guessing a full Hollow model..Maybe HRW's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 based on the style & sound I'd guess 575....it does sound hollowbody however there is a *lot* of slapback echo + reverb on there so it could be anything, even a solid body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbp810 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Well, based on the song file name... I would wager to say a Parson Street built D Angelico??? It's fits the hollowbody sound that seems to be hitting my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Here's what the player wrote: My project on this new CD was to play live, just guitar and bass, with no edits of any kind. We sat on 2 stools facing each other during the sessions, with two mikes facing in opposite directions. The the bass was fed directly into the board and the Roland 60 guitar amp was miked with a ribbon mike. All 18 tracks were recorded in this manner. If we made one mistake, the entire take was erased, just like in the old days. The track I sent you was an easy, kind of throw away, feel good piece. There are other, more intense tracks, but the entire CD has a good feel to it, thanks in part to the way it was mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lachiron Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Sounds like Henry Johnson...using his Heritage archtop. PAF type pups...been listening to these a bit!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydog52 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Nice composition. I'm guessing a Hollowbody. Although I've heard that type of sound from many guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'll go right to the full answer. I didn't title this tune but did find "D'Angelico" misleading. This guitar is exactly as it left the factory except the strings. It was run through a solid state, mass produced amp with no pedals using the neck pickup. Frankly, I was surprised when I learned which guitar made this music. In retrospect I shouldn't be. This is a great sounding guitar that now resides in the Detroit area.

MartyGrass Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 H555 with HRWs. Here's a sampling of the artist's works. His a big Heritage and Gretsch fan. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_srch_drd_B005LRARSW/185-2317919-9195330?ie=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=digital-music&field-keywords=Peter%20Arciuolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyGrass Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Yes he did. It now has push pull coil splits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackBaruth Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I was going to be a contrarian and guess that it was done on an H-150. Not like Mr. Paul himself didn't do plenty of that stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
