I heard Hollow Bones of White Swans last night and this morning and am wondering if and when there is a Paige solo recording for sale. Amazing song that hit home especially on waking this morning. Thanks Paige and to the whole family. Coming from a fam of traditional gospel harmony, it means a lot more to hear those family harmonies and that the traditions are being kept alive in such young people. I'm only 35 but when I get around the old guys, my heart just melts. Y'allz good.

@zerowavezero Thanks (and Paige says thanks too). "Hollow Bones" is part of a new collection of all-original songs Paige is currently recording that she hopes to have out in the next few months. Stay tuned...

Incredible tone. I know that the guitar is superior quality, I want one pretty bad, but how on earth did this video's audio get recorded. I see a cable inserted into the 1/4 jack but I would find it hard to believe the guitar has onboard electronics that sound that amazing. Great playing too obviously! :P

@121jigawatts: There's no external mic here - we just used the onboard pickup, which is an LR Baggs Anthem-SL under-the-saddle transducer and mic. My recollection on this one is that we ran the output through one of our LR Baggs DIs (I think our Para DI) and then into a Mackie 808S mixer with a wee bit of reverb, then direct into the video camera. I think it's a bit overdriven here. Check out Paige's Lewis and Clark video on our page. That one is a bit cleaner without the DI.

Don't need to know a thing about guitars to tell that this girl is very talented. Just amazing.

incredible - highest compliments to you - great sound recording as well - if I close my eyes you're playing in my living room ;)

Beautiful guitar but it can't do a thing without that talent behind it. What an amazing sound!! In the last two years since I've been listening to your clips on youtube I am amazed at how your talent has grown. For the joy of our ears please keep posting and thanks for sharing it with us.
