National Guitar Steel Body vs Brass Body Shootout Hi Def

[rjkral]

Specifically can you tell me what was the third guitar (brand, style, model etc). That was my favorite sound of this round. EXCELLENT video please keep these coming. These comparisons are so useful. Do you have one on wood vs steel?

I just got a 31 triolian..in florida.. put a new national cone in it _really helped the sound,,, the front doll rod was loose I took it out and it made it way deeper and louder, the neck is real straight and it plays great

Hey Lenny you may remember me - I had the 39 12 string brass bodied style-o I prefer the sound of brass bathed in that german nikel.

[NationalGuitarMan]

Ha, both. I"m left handed, play right, wear the watch on the right. Very perceptive!

cheers, Lenny

[nationalguitarplayer]

got your watch on the right side or left-handed?

[nationalguitarplayer]

the 1fst brass body is the sweetest no doubt, and the prettiest to watch at :)

Much prefered sound from the steel.

The brass was just too empty can sounding.

[Ozzyzwilde]

The steel body guitars definitely had the best sound by far.

The brass body guitars seemed to lack the richness of the steel body sound.

hi lenny

excellent playing by the way and you are a lucky man with these guitars.

It is hard to say what i prefer as the sound in your room may actually quite different that what we hear through the compressed youtube channel. Although most people are in favour of steel for the old delta blues sound I liked the brass ones better for the high strings. It seems as the notes are louder and fuller, which is great for slide (as for me it is hard to get a good and loud sound from the high string at high positions). What do you think?

[tonyvanheemschut]

Very good initiative. I am a newby to resonators so my opinion is probably not worth that much. As far as i could hear you played a steel one after every brass one.

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. Look for more to come. Cheers, Lenny

It is great to hear the different examples side-by-side with the same room, picks, player, etc. The differences are subtle but there and this lets us hear them. Thanks Lenny!
