    So nice to hear George Gruhn talk. Was afraid they were going play the guitar.

    Whatta coincidence .. I gotta 1937 acoustic L5 archtop. Love the Art Deco design references throughout.

    Beautiful. Would have liked to have heard a little more of it's sound. Interesting history. Guitars like this make me feel like going on a grand hunt through little obscure music and pawn shops to find that special gem!

      You’d be shocked at what you would find. I love pawn shop hunting. For every guitar player that Jeep’s on pkaying beyond their teeny years, there are many who gave up, whose parents bought them pro gear they lost interest in.

    Gruhn is such a gentleman. I had him appraise a couple guitars over the years. After dealing with so many guitars it was fun to see him excited over a rare find!

    I think D'Angelico made (makes) some of the most beautiful guitars...
    The true D'Angelico guitars a hard to come by now-a-days.
    EDIT: BTW Jimmy D'Aquisto does not get enough love regarding these works of art.

    Loved how Gruhn commented on D'angelico getting all the profit from his guitars he made, whilst the dealers profited from the Gibsons they sold to musicians.

  • @raffyzoo2130

    just put a tc tuner on it and see how far out of tune it is. at least 5 cents all up and down the neck. ec is deaf. tone deaf. this instrument is not musical because it won't play in tune. for a small fraction of effort this could play in tune. just compensate the bridge and compensate the nut and be in tune within one cent. unheard of in the old days, easy peasy now with a tuner. get hep, get in tune.

  • @raffyzoo2130
    @raffyzoo2130 4 года назад

    nobody seems to notice that the lack of compensation in the bridge and nut equals out of tune? it plays out of tune. it is not a musical instrument if it won't play in tune.
