Levin Parlor Guitars - Part 3

[TildeOliver]

I just found an old Levin model 111 from 1966 on its way to the dumpster yesterday, pretty awesome :D

Just a matter of interest, what kind of mic are you recording them with?

They sound awesome.

[BottleneckJohn]

It's the camera mic!! It's a SONY anf has a really good condenser mic built in, every clip you can find with me here is recorded with this camera microphone.. I'm really happy with this one!!!!

[toomuchrose]

Yeah! You got some great guitars John and you know how to make those things sing.

Fantastic stuff.

[BottleneckJohn]

Thanks for the comments, they really are some fine old guitars!!

[CreepingCrumpet]

i cannot believe that someone would have the nerve to throw such a nice guitar in a dumpster , very nice find my friend. VERY NICE SOUND

[BottleneckJohn]

Thanks!!

Oh well, these days people tend to throw anything away..

For me this is a beautiful instrument, for someone else, it's crap..

Lucky me!!! LoL!!

Woo..the 1914 #24 model looks and sounds very good ! It suits you very well John, great playing !

[BottleneckJohn]

Hey Vincent!

Thanks a lot, and yes, I do love these old guitars!!

Good to have you here checking my clips!!

[vleb]

You said on clip #2 that they are quite easy to find. Do you buy them in Sweden shops or pawnshops ?

[BottleneckJohn]

Fleamarkets, pawnshops etc...

du har alltså hittat gitarrerna genom marknader och sånt? du har inte koll på var jag skulle kunna hitta såna här ställen nära göteborg? =) awesome playin' förresten!

[BottleneckJohn]

Thanks a lot, Harppoman!

Makes me happy to hear that you dig this!!

Nice guitars. Sounds good for slide must have very good action.

[BottleneckJohn]

They're fine guitars indeed, especially the older one here, the 1914.

Action is HIGH, too high to do anything but play slide, I'll do a neck reset on both when time allows it, LoL!
