Thanks for the sub!! Leo is indeed a fabulous player! What you’re hearing is coming through an sm57 pointed straight at the middle of the amp and then two room mics that are about 10 feet away from Leo. They’re panned left and right in the mix but you’re probably getting 95 percent amp mic and 5 percent room! Stay tuned for Roy Ben Bashat on Tuesday
Nice playing for sure - but some more detailed info re choice of amp, speaker, mic model + placement etc. would be so helpful for really appreciating the qualities of this guitar. Maybe a short sequence demoing the acoustic sound could also help in forming an opinion and to have an idea about what makes THIS particular guitar differ from later re-creations by Roger Borys, Monteleone, etc. - all those builders who are in some way or another in succession of James D'Aquisto...
Thanks for watching and for your comment! The amp is a blues JR IV special edition with cannabis Rex speaker, and I swapped all the tubes with genelex gold lion. I’ve got a sm57 pointed straight at the amp and two rode small diaphragm condensers capturing the room sound. On some of the videos the room mics are a bit higher in the mix than others. Good question about how this guitar compares to others, I’m not totally sure! I believe at some point Borys was making the laminate boxes for D’Aquisto and I’m not sure if that’s what’s going on here. As for how it compares, you’ll have to bring me some of those guitars so I can record them!
@@davidblakeguitar Jo, good answers, thanks ! I own a Bryant Trenier lam-top modeled after the D'Aquisto design and a Borys lam-top will be mine this fall, when he is done with finishing his current batch. You'd be surprised by the acoustic volume and tone of the Trenier !
@@christianlassen3948 I’ve heard treniers guitars a few times. Beautiful Instruments!! A teacher and friend of mine has one of borys’ jazz solids that I used to play a lot and loved that instrument. My brother d’arcy (of d’arcy guitars) is working on a lam right now that will be finished in a couple months. Will surely be posting some videos of it!
Thank you ❤
Bravo!
Beautiful! Guitarist reminds me of “The Deep” from The Boys!
Haha!
Hey, first your playing is immaculate! I subbed. Curious if you can tell me how you mic’d everything?

Loaded with a Guild HB?
Good question! Perhaps @theblueguitars knows?
