Under ideal conditions, I like shooting mid-morning or late afternoon, and always outdoors. The natural sun makes the flame pop.

These were not ideal conditions. It was freezing and overcast in Nashville. Thus, we shot indoors with whatever natural light there was coming in from the window. I had to bump the ISO (film speed) up really high.

Given the conditions, I was happy with the results.:jim[/sk

yea they look great:salude

Congratulations Mark! Absolutely amazing instrument, and a great story about your acquisition of it. Looks like a Home Run!

Enjoy!

Joe

You takin' that vintage thang to a whole other level. :spabout

The one aspect the relic guys have not addressed is that ultra-high polished lacquer look. A million shirtsleeves and grime and sweat, and some beer create something in a notch between right off the buffing wheel and 15000 grit polishing cloth. Varnish filled with hideous metal-based toxins and organic solvents.
CD's last shot really captures that.
Congrats on your new guitar.

Congrats Mark for this wonderful Burst. The top grain and the colour look perfect! :dude:

And thanks Charlie for the nice pictures.

Trovador · Jan 17, 2018

I’m just learning about cameras and until you mentioned that I didn’t get that ISO in a digital camera (sensitivity of the sensor) is based off the same thing as the old film speed.

now the real question is — when you change the iso on the camera to a certain number does that correlate in a relative manner to what old film speed sensitivity was and if so- it may be correct to still use that terminology even though it is “digital” film speed its basically the same?

CDaughtry · Jan 17, 2018

Yes...as with film, the higher the ISO the "grainier" the photo will look. In the digital world, they call it noise, but it's the same thing for all practical purposes.:jim

Nice guitar! :dude:

Mega congrats and play her in good health .I have to say that after listening to the 2 clips that the tone of the bridge pickup is to die for and I am most certainly in lust of that tone .Wow , nothing beats a vintage Burst with some super amazing PAF'S ! (What amps were used in the 2 clips ? )

The snakebite is obvious, but what left the perpendicular-to-the-axis tracks? Some TP I am guessing.

Thanks for the kind words. The bridge pickup is no doubt one of the finest I have ever heard. The amp used in both clips is a 1958 Hi Power Tweed Twin that used to belong to Tony Joe White.

I have learned quite a bit more very cool info about the guitar and some previous owners in the last weeks as well. It wouldn't be fair to share until the incredible article by Huw Price comes out as he did all of the legwork.

They line up with the string mounting posts on the Bigsby. Somebody was less than gentle while stringing most likely.

Love this Burst , would really like to hear Joe B. bring to the surface the tone of this very cool guitar .

With The Guitar Magazine article coming out tomorrow I will be able to update some further information about the Duggie. In the meantime here's some raw sounds of a couple old guitars.

As Huw Price's article in The Guitar Magazine is now live, I thought it would be cool to add some further backstory about 0 0284. Although Doug Lock's previous ownership has gotten most of the attention, I think the period of 1970-1971 when Luther Grosvenor had possession of this is well worth exploring. Luther played in Spooky Tooth, Mott the Hoople, Widowmaker and many other bands. During his time with Mott he went by the stage name of Ariel Bender. From the photo and video attached he played this guitar for a period of a couple years and during that time Spooky Tooth put out The Last Puff album. The same year Luther also put out a solo record called Under Open Skies that is nothing short of excellent. After listening as close as I am capable of, it seems to me this guitar was played on both of those albums. That nasally cocked wah bridge sound is apparent and screams this guitar to me. I have been trying to get a hold of Luther, but haven't had much luck yet. I think it would be great if he could share some memories of his time with the Duggie and any recordings it might be featured on.

Be sure to check out the Duggie in this issue of Guitar Magazine. :salude

guitarjoe · Feb 3, 2018

Beautiful guitar - congrats! And I too am looking forward to the thread about the ‘58 from Carters. I got to hold that jewel when I was there a little over a year ago. Congrats again!

BlakeRockMD · Feb 3, 2018

So sick!! I can't wait to get my hands on this thing in a few weeks, and the magazine too!

Play it loud chief.
