nice chords & playing, but i agree the timing is off a bit, sounds choppy and off time, but nonetheless i like the axe and the whole vibe going on... best of luck to ya..
@mdhakr They sell this model without the pickup as an acoustic so thought it might be ok, but it sounds like it wouldn't be your first choice. Thanks!
Nice arrangement, but the timing is not working for me.. before you attpemt a rubato feel, trying playing it in time with a metronome on 2 and 4. Still, a really nice arrangement!
Sorry, I wasn't trying to get too technical on this one. I played it at my daughter's wedding and most of the non-musical folk thought it was fine. But I'll think about this for the future.
Thanks, Paul, the story is actually quite a pain in that I "won" the same kind of guitar about 3 months ago, but didn't realize that there had been damage either from the seller or via the shipping until I had it properly set up by a local luthier about 2 months after I got it. The damage was hidden by the pickguard. Ebay wouldn't help me because I was too late. I'm still waiting for a decision from UPS about damages or I may have to go after the vendor.
Steve,the end of the saga is that I saw another one of these babies and bid on it. This guitar (D'Aquisto New Yorker Junior) is a guitar for life! It has a slightly smaller footprint than a full sized archtop and is a breeze to play; the sound is magnificent because the floating pickup allows for no intrusion with blocks into the body of the instrument. You get a fully resonating quality that I certainly like. This is 1 year old used, but MINT. Very, very well made.

Not so good as an acoustic but would do; any electric archtop is usually not so great for acoustic in my experience...

Was considering this guitar as well. How do you feel about the acoustic sound? Does it stand on its own or is it a better electric?

It was better than fine!! It just wasn't perfect... I think a better sense of timing would make things more interesting A la Joe Pass...

Very nice guitar! How do you like it? Sounds like it has a nice full archtop sound. Nice arrangement and playing also! Thanks!
