Episode 329 - Motander SM65 Ardweirdo

Episode 329

mercredi 28 août 2024 • Duration 26:10

Justin Motander Jones is making some wonderfully inventive guitars down there in San Diego, CA. He’s been experimenting with creating effects by controlling the pickups themselves, as opposed to simply feeding their output through an effect. He calls this idea the Ardweirdo, since the brain behind all of this is the Arduino open-source electronics platform. The guitar we got to play around on was kindly loaded with every kind of tremolo sound you could want. Enjoy! Like the show?

Episode 328 - Gibson J-50

Episode 328

mercredi 21 août 2024 • Duration 22:23

Gibson introduced both the J-45 and J-50 acoustic guitars in 1942. Wood was scarce, and production in Kalamazoo was severely curtailed in favor of war-related endeavors. A few “banner” J-45s were made, but the J-50 would not be reintroduced until 1947. At that time, the J-50 was little more than a J-45 without the paint job. Our example is from 1968, after many of the design “improvements” had been rolled back. Enjoy! Like the show?

Episode 223 - Fender D'Aquisto Standard

Episode 223

mercredi 10 août 2022 • Duration 25:23

Once upon a time, Fender created jazz guitars based on the designs of master luthier Jimmy D’Aquisto. Jimmy had learned his craft from John D’Angelico, father of the handmade jazz box. Admittedly, these kinds of instruments were a bit outside of Fender’s usual offerings, but they charged ahead anyway. How did they do? We got our hands on a Fender D’Aquisto Standard and gave it a whirl. Enjoy! Like the show?

Episode 222 - Gibson ES-225TN

Episode 222

mercredi 3 août 2022 • Duration 23:57

Shortly after Gibson introduced the Les Paul solidbody, it became clear that the more traditional jazz cats might also enjoy an instrument with an easier to handle profile. They certainly loved their big ol’ jazz boxes, but why couldn’t they also have something a little more…manageable? So began the thinline series of guitars, available to this day in many incarnations. But the first was the ES-225, introduced in the 1950s, and we’ve got one. Enjoy! Like the show?
