Awesome cover

Love this song! Thanks for revisiting it Jon. Have a great time at Pravdafest!

Would've imagined this to be among the last candidates in your catalog for a successful unplugged treatment, Jon, but a great song will out!

Always nice to listen to you Jon. Don't knock old, it beats the alternative...

Awesome! Greetings from Braunschweig

Nice tune, Jon. I was looking for Poignance through Volume, the EP you recorded in ‘84… is there any way I can get my hands on a copy of that?

Miss you Jon.

Nice dude!

very enjoyable,

Good job got me started

Just watched all of your Maccafferi fix videos. Nice job and congrats on getting it done. Love the cowboy rope strap too. Perfect for the guitar.

Hi Jon. Great demo of this guitar! I just bought one too.😊 What strings do you recommend?

Lucky me .. I have representatives of just about all Maccaferris plastique fantastiques .. including the Mastro banjo ukes. I love them all .. and inspiring to see and hear how great Jon makes this one sound … many thanks for this lovely demo! They are great for having ‘in reach’ on the sofa …. and they do not warp or disintegrate on a boat (and of course the late great Jeff Beck used one …. nuff said!

it was shit

Wow, what a fabulous version of that Nick Lowe song. It’s like a whole new song. Nicely done!

After 40 years of perspective - and this Billy Bragg-like version of "Gone Electric" - it is so clear that there was a lot of PT's "Empty Glass" running through your veins back then. All the best to you, Jon.

I liked it.. Some people say "do you play Guitar" and there are those that Answer and are Guitar Players. IE- Its in Key of G or A or F# and they know exactly what you mean. I picked up guitar as a teen and play with it instead of playing it. Dont know anything about what key or note is being played and have no clue where or how chords are or played but can play things people will hear and name it. I have zero training or skill just an ear. I dont know how but I can find a place on the neck in two string combos using the top 2 all the way up the neck the next two all the way up the neck and the next two all the way up the neck and find cheat chords. Its not a Chord but its the same tone or position of a chord. I found this Video because IN my untrained mind I heard this tune in my head when I was picking strings and found it .. The Notes or tones of the Vocals and find each one by ear. Then I found this and of course what I play is NOTHING like this or those Complete chords and the picking of the strings is perfect and complicated as all get out. Not everyone is an accomplished player. Im 61 and say YES when asked can you play Guitar.

Before you consider superglue (cyanoacrrylate) try a tiny drop on a part of the guitar that doesnt matter too much. Maccaferri guitars are made from styrene with copper and zinc powder mixed in to the mix. Styrene isnt the same as Polyplastic so im not too sure how it will react. I do know that superglue MELTS polystyrene. So please take care.

Hey Jon, Your H174 was Harmony's best in 1961 They made only the H173 & H174 models from 1958 to 1966. 1957 was an odd year when they made the H173 ($59.50) and a H175 ($115.00) but that's not the H175 of later years. In 1961 the H174 was $85.00 and the blurb read: "Specially selected close-grained seasoned spruce top. Fan-rib construction for full resonance. Mahogany back and frame in rich brown polished finish. Mahogany neck. Spanish style Rosewood bridge. Inlaid soundhole. Top edge bound. 1967: H173, H174, H175 1968: H171, H173, H174, H175 1969: H171, H173, H175, H177 1970: H171, H173, H175, H177 1971: H171, H172, H175, H177 1972: All Gone You might think the H177 was Top of The Line but the H175 was. From 1967 to 1971 the H175 was $135. From 1969 to 1971 the H177 was $99.50 Beautiful guitars and they are getting hard to find. Possibly the most overlooked guitar of that period because of all the relabelling work of cheap guitars they did for Kay, Stella, Silvertone, Fender, etc. Nevertheless their high end in-house models sound and play great. I have several and would never part with them. I think the Harmony, Guild and Martin have held up the best from the 1960's, a testament to their builders.

Very cool you done it good

Jon - you're holding the Mystery Guitar! I've tried to find info on the "ghost" Harmony H-178 Classical Guitar but it doesn't exist - I've never seen one for sale or read any information on when it was made, what it's made of etc. Can you please post any information or links you have on the H-178. Is it actually stamped H178 on the inside and what's the date stamp? I have a H-177 which is a great guitar and would certainly like to find a H-178 for sale.

Fantastic

Love this

I love hearing the banjo! Your overalls fit the vibe too:)

Wonderful performance! Glad to see you're still making videos. I would like to have had the guitar track mixed a little louder. I could hear it, but I wanted to hear it better.

Cool. Found you while looking for info on Vega guitars. Ever heard of a Vega D-26?

Love it brother thanks I'm a Samoan Freddie Fender love singing wasted day and wasted night PELE PU'EFUA

Very Nice! Are the pots 250k or 500k, & which magnets are you running?

Demasiada plática

Why not play it?

I guess we're past "dad rock" now and straight into "grandpa rock!" Nice one!

Lovely playing👍

Nice R&B. Great voice!

The coolest thing about this performance is that you’re doing it in standard tuning and playing all the bar chords. In increasing numbers, I’ve seen people playing in the halfstep tuning. This is refreshing. Love to hear your take on Live’s “Lightning Crashes”, Jon. On that Yamaha, it would sound extra awesome.

Excuse me, but - your “gnome”? That SA2000 is sweet. Although I’ve already got too many electric guitars to begin with, I keep imagining that this (or one like it) would make a great professional upgrade from my Epiphone Sheraton II. (I dig the wine red finish more than the sunburst.) Got to be a better value for the dollar than the Gibson equivalent it’s based on.

I likes it brother.

Amazing song and cover! Congratulations!

Excellent take on a great song

Thomastik KR116 strings would sound amazing on this Gizmo

Badass.

Just wow.... Love the sound of your voice on this, and the interplay of melody, guitar accompaniment, and words is great

Nice to see and hear you back, Jon!

Great and inspiring 👍😎

Groovy little song! I don't ever remember hearing that back in the day. Thumbs down to Thumbs Up!

What do you think about washburn guitars that were not set up for non nylon strings but set up for slide guitar?

Fully enjoyed your swinging groove. Got a joyful mood while listening 👍 All the best for 2022 - Peter
