Recording Studio / a country loop thang

« on: April 11, 2012, 03:54:52 AM »

My playing mostly consists of playing country solos to a boss loop pedal. Simple fun, easy to fit in to a regular parent's schedule.

Here's one I played a month ago (yes, don't get to play these THAT often )

This one even has a B section, I usually just play 20s things on a simple one or two chord loop backing.

Electric Guitars / Airline tuxedo vs Hagstrom HJ-500/600

« on: November 18, 2010, 10:35:59 AM »

Never owned a real hollowbody. And these two piqued my interest. Anybody tested one or the other? I have, actually, some months ago.

Tuxedo was FUN! P-90s sounded oh so 1940s. Which I thoroughly dig! But, like the ES-330, which was just wonderful... the P90s hum. The Tuxedo didn't, at the store, but would hum at our home and other places.
But the Hagstrom was classy fun. Compared to a clunky new ES-175 they had at the store, the Hagstrom was just so much better to me.

They are about the same price. Which is like twice what my other guitars cost. I am a cheapo, yes.

The Hagstrom is classy act, but the Tuxedo is just so big and funky, in positive way, mostly.

I am into 1940s T-Bone Walker kinda thing, or those old electric country sounds. And JJ Cale.
