[Tototwice]

Hey Steve, Nice work my friend! Not only a talented guitarist but also a very talented luthier! How much didi you bill yourself for that archtop LOL..KEEPON Strummin.............DALLAS

[Stevepat1]

Hi Dallas, The bill was very high by the time I finished buying what I needed to make it. But it was worth every hour I spent working on it. Thanks!

[JAZZMANICK]

[junka22]

Wow, that's a wonderful sound, and such a great relaxed feel, totally dig it!

[Stevepat1]

Thanks a lot! Really glad you liked it.

[Hoopermazing]

You built that jazz-box?

What the what!?!

[Stevepat1]

Carved it out of blocks of wood wth my bare hands and a lot of tools. It took 5 years to complete working a few hours a day a few days a week.

[Hoopermazing]

@Stevepat1 You are, of course, the man. When I first saw the video, I assumed it was a Benedetto or something of that ilk.

[SIRONEDRAGON]

Steve Nice sound and cool playing ..

[giulianoligabue]

Gorgeous, Steve, as always.

A treat to see and hear my favourite guitar again, too!

Lovely unhurried melody; just the thing for me right now.

Thanks,

Barry

[Stevepat1]

Thank you Barry! I'm looking forward to your groups next one. Hope it comes soon.

[Keesfarida]

Hi Steve,what a beautiful melody,I dont know this song,but I love it,you have a very warm sound in your guitar,keep on picking Steve,you are one of my heroes,warm regards Kees.

[Stevepat1]

Kees! Thank you and I must say that you are definitely one of my heroes. The great guitarist Herb Ellis helped write this song. Billie Holiday did it when Herb was in her group.

[userfixit]

Really nice Tone Steve.

Getting good HiFi sound even via YT !

Archtop sound is one of a kind. I really like it !

Real easy on the ears to listen to your Artistry.

Thanks Carl! It was getting a bit dusty so I thought I would polish and put new strings on it. What a difference that made.

perfect music for a relaxed sunday afternoon (and a beautiful guitar) .

[Stevepat1]

Thank you!

[manoucheries]

That guitar looks amazing....and the sound of benedetto pickups is just right....I always wanted o Benedetto style archtop...( I don't know why but this tune remembered me of Christmas )....All the Best!!!

[Stevepat1]

Thanks! I always wanted one too so since I worked with wood I figured I could make one. 5 years later I had one. The pickup really does make the guitar sound good.
