Blues Jam in B - DeArmond M75T through a Rivera M60 valve amp

[LarryLane07]

I want one of those guitars so badly. I bid on one on eBay,but the bidding went too high

[fieldfullofthistles]

Like your style. Im thinking of buying one of these. I heard a guy on youtube playing it clean and it sounded as good as yours does with overdrive. Nice one.

[kevcaster]

Yes both have chambers, that doesn't make them lighter! This was stil a heavy guitar and with the Gigsby (Guild made Bigsby great unit)I have sold this guitar after developing shoulder problems - a nerve and ligament impingement. I now have a superlight Korean guitar with P90s and my Tokai ES

[Zuhzuhzombie]

The 72s and 77s were semi hollow/chambered, right?

[kevcaster]

I think most of it is around the myxolidian, - could be wrong. This is some years old now - wish I still looked like that. Hopefully I have improved thanks to the constructive input of people like yourself.

[vibroluxor]

Came here to learn more about the M75 - more specifically those 2k pickups. can't tell from your setup. Can I offer some unsolicited advice/comments? Your playing style is very pedantic - you never venture away from the minor pentatonic

try playing against the beat, or around it, skip a measure altogether. maybe repeating every phrase twice, just to see how you can play the second one different. these things will lift you above the typical blues jam playeer.

damn nice

[kevcaster]

OK, thanks useful to know. Our pond is only 10 feet across so I feel OK that no squirrels will be placed in danger while they enjoy the facilities.

[BiscuitsJoe]

In response to 1:53, yes they can, but not for very long.

Fender acquired Guild in 1995. These were manufactured by Cor-Tek in Inchon, ROK. The pickups were made by Fender in Corona, CA.

[kevcaster]

Which one is this? It has "by Guild" on the trussrod cover. Fender acquired Guild and as far as I know these were sacrificed in favour of the Electromatic Gretschs - probably a good call as they have been so incredibly popular

[skillet54]

do yourself a favor and look for the Dearmonds made by Guild not Fender...

[FatPanel]

Man, your bleeding that blues out. No wonder your not mowing the yard... that may jsut bother the squirrels anyway. Just got me an M&% in dark blue... been working at melting the wall paper off, like you, since. Thanks for sharing!

[kevcaster]

Yeah you are right! Sadly no longer have that amp, they are really versatile atone generators. Have scaled back to a single Hayden Mofo and two 1x12's

[mattygeetarross]

A lot of that TONE is coming from the M60!!

[jonnda]

haha, i loved your little comments like "i wonder if squirrels can swim?"

[JPRBlues]

Very nice enjoyed ths alot, Great tone, Jake.

[kevcaster]

These whole line guitars were discontinued by Fender, I believe to make way for the line of Gretsch Electromatics - which have proven more popular.. I saw an M75T go on e ebay for $220 recent;y in silver sparkle. I plan to hang onto this and may even look for a later M77 without the tram as a backup. Happy hunting

[wuchak]

@kevcaster The M77 without the the trem has humbuckers, not the single coils. The single coils were in the M77T.

[yimmiytube]

how much is it?
