[Sstephen192]

What strings do you think are being played in the video? They compliment the guitar beautifully.

I love Old folks.....

@moncmon It is a beautiful tune, and Keith definitely does wonders with it here. Thanks for watching!

Very nice sound and playing! What is the diference in terms of sound with the ar880 John Pisano? What about playing with band, do they tend to feed-back?

Thank you

[soundpurestudios]

@pepeolmedojazz Thanks! The mahogany back and sides on this one produce a woodier tone with more of a midrange focus. You also hear more of the fundamental pitch than you would with maple back and sides, where the overtones are typically more present. All John Pisano signature models feature a 2 3/4" body depth and 16" lower bout which helps reduce feedback, as well as the set-in humbucking pickup. Please feel free to call or email me at jared(at)soundpure(dot)com if you have any more questions!

should i sell my D'angelico New Yorker for this? They sell for for around 4k but i got it used and im loving the sound of this eastman guitar. Any thoughts?

[soundpurestudios]

@MrJazzman909 It's all personal preference. Do you not link your guitar anymore?? We love the Eastman line and believe in them as professional quality guitars. We all own their acoustics and love them! Contact us any time to talk more about our guitars. Thanks!

I've had D'angelico's NYL2 and Excel.The Eastman I have beats them both in terms of quality and sound. The D'angelicos are fake copies that are not backed up for quality issues very well at all.

@jazz1bro Thanks for your honest opinion... you are not the first person we've heard within these walls say just that!

[xdivinebladex]

My friend has one of these. The sweetest hollowbody I've ever played in my life

[Michael55443]

Incredible guitar and wonderful playing.

[soundpurestudios]

@Michael55443 Thanks you for saying so.

Interesting how you decided to mix some acoustic resonance of the guitar with the amp. Sounds lovely. Very nice guitar!

[soundpurestudios]

@DMSProduktions Thanks! Its a cool technique that can bring amazing depth to a guitar recording. Keith sounds great too and the guitar is magical!

[DMSProduktions]

@soundpurestudios He sure does. 4GOT to mention the great playing! Good job Keith!

[soundpurestudios]

@DMSProduktions Thanks!

[SmallFish616]

I really appreciate the unique stuff you guys do :)

[soundpurestudios]

@SmallFish616 Thanks for the kind support and encouragement!

[Aiden057]

Undoubtedly one of the finest instruments I've seen in all your demos. Very nice playing too -- a double treat. Keep'um coming. Good stuff.

[soundpurestudios]

@Aiden057 Interestingly, being it is an Eastman, it is also one of the most affordable! They are really creating some remarkable values over there at Eastman right now. Thanks for posting and enjoying- lots more to come.

[ric3606]

No flatwounds????? you guys are adventurous! :)

[soundpurestudios]

@ric3606 Heheh, this one indeed deviates from the "straight up the middle"

[lkjlkjlkjlkjlkjlkj6]

that low e string is very loud

[soundpurestudios]

@lkjlkjlkjlkjlkjlkj6 Lots of factors- playing, amp setting, mic positioning... certainly could have been easily attenuated, but we rather liked that big low end out of it quite honestly. We felt it had a huge, exciting sound to it.

[lkjlkjlkjlkjlkjlkj6]

@soundpurestudios I agree it sounded fantastic, and maybe its just my monitors

[Jimi0Hendrix]

such a raw and beautiful sound.. just wonderful!

[soundpurestudios]

@Jimi0Hendrix Thanks for saying so, the added splash of natural acoustics added to the realism of this recording. This is one fine instrument!

[LucianoDurao]

First.........to hear that beauty

[soundpurestudios]

@LucianoDurao Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching...

[SaurianSoul]

Wow amazing playing as always! :) I was really impressed with the acoustic quality mixed into the electric sound. The mahogany back and sides are just stunning. A tone wood if there ever was one. 5/5 and 2 thumbs up!

[soundpurestudios]

@SaurianSoul Thanks a lot for posting... this is a truly musical sounding setup and phenomenol instrument. We were as pleased as you were about the tonal qualities that the instrument, amp, and mics
