That's the best classical sounding electric guitar I think I've ever heard. It's got the nice tonal timbre of a classical, but much more active on the pickups.
No disrespect intended. I simply consider Carlos as one of the elite players. His style was that of a musical quality...not just tasteful fills and grooves, but drum fills that became part of the song as much as a melody line. I'm not familiar with this drummer but he is rock solid with a real nice natural sound. Certainly worthy of praise.
That's definitely a nylon string, looks like a solid-body acoustic modeled after traditional electric guitars. Does anyone know what make and model that guitar is? I'd love to have a 22-fret nylon string!
@ianidinuse I looked into that, all of Lee's signature models are electric. I still can't figure out what that instrument is. Might be a custom job, I'm thinking.
@ianidinuse :Hi, my friend ! Like it's written somewhere, that guitar is a Sadowsky, electric-acoustic Guitar crafted in Manhattan. Many great guitarists got one (Gilberto Gil, Djavan, and others, not only Brasilian's players, but I forgot their names). I'd love to have the same one, but it coasts something like 2500 euros. It it still in production, but I think that you must command one to have that great guitar. Not sure ! I'm sure of the rest of what I've written.Later. BYE !
@ianidinuse ;Hi, my friend ! For sure, the best versions of this song are played with nylon strings Guitars ; we can't say that it is "classical guitars", cause "it's a solid-body nylon that has a hybrid sound combining acoustic & electric "colors"" (said Lee Ritenour) but I've always heard it played on a solid-body electric-acoustic guitar;sometimes, it was a Gibson Chet Atkins nylon, sometimes a Sadowski, and even once (I'm proud of that, cause I got the same guitar), a Godin Multiac Duet....
@ianidinuse :Those guitars are made to be amplified, principally,you can play just for working or for fun, you'll hear it enough, but it's not like the real electric-acoustics, so the mics that are used have many importance. I know that the Gibson Chet Atkins got 1 piezo, but a hexaphonique 1, & there's no equalizer,there's a volume for each string. In the Sadowski, don't know,but in the Godin,2 ways,a piezo & a condensator mic,& you can mix the 2 to have a clear but warm sound.Later ! BYE, man!
@wackyshredder :Hi ! You're right, this guitar is an electric-acoustic nylon strings SADOWSKY, a Crafter that's in manhattan. Many Brasilians' musicians are playing with the same guitar (I even suppose that Lee Ritenour had showed it to Djavan, or Djavan had showed it to Lee, cause it's after having played "Asa" together that both are using a Sadowsky ). I hope beeing able to buy one soon or late. I know that I can still buy one cause I've looked the Sadowsky's guitars on my computer. BYE !

I think that it is not fair to Gary, writing he isn't swinging.
Well i think he nails it.
He really swings and grooves 100%
i've been thinking so since the first time i heard this performance.
Wow, Gary swings in this one.
And of course Abe and the other guys.

@arthur84 yes , it is a nylon string. my guess is that it's an Ibanez Lee Ritenour Signature guitar. i dont think its in production anymore.
