I should have mentioned that! These were all recorded with: Neumann TLM 103 condenser mic: sweetwater.sjv.io/XY1qBM Golden Age Project Pre-73 MKIII Microphone Preamp: sweetwater.sjv.io/9ge3kY Then into Logic. About as simple as it gets, but the nice mic helps with getting good, faithful sound in a home studio/living room.

Off-topic again I’m afraid (I don’t use social media as a rule). I bought Abandon All Hope recently and my immediate impression was that it’s a proper labour of love, blood, sweat and tears piece of work. My dad’s first impression which you might prefer, was that bits of “Shadows” made him think of Eric Johnson. I had been actively looking for an instrumental (broken tooth, singing is painful) concept album (alleged prog rock dinosaur - slightly true, no shame) so I was never likely to be your toughest crowd but I’m more than happy. I’m less than happy because I don’t currently have a laptop, so I haven’t been able to go full-on concept album on it yet, but I’m more than happy that I soon will have, so I soon will be! Thank you.

@@gretchenmenn A-ha! Nice one, cheers. I would’ve loved to have stumbled across this album in an olden days record shop, on 12” vinyl, gatefold sleeve with maybe “Shadows” as a scene-setter, nice big pullout artwork/synopsis supplemental… Wouldn’t work for me now because I live on a boat and vinyl ain’t exactly practical, widespread or cheap but we’re a nostalgic breed, us dinosaurs.

Love the instruments and Gretchen's playing, but OMG, sticker shock! If I bought a brand new Martin HD-28 from Sweetwater I'd still have money left for half a 000-28. Hard to justify that kind of expense when there are so many excellent instruments at a lower price points. The tonality of sinker redwood is hyped a lot but it doesn't standout against other Redwoods enough to justify the expense unless it has some unique figuring. I'd like to hear a back to back against Breedlove Myrtlewood and cedar guitars.
@gretchenmenn Ай бұрын
I hear you. These are out of my price range as well, but the hope was that having the consistency of materials between the four body shapes might provide a bit of illumination on how body shape affects sounds when all other materials are consistent and therefore perhaps help people narrow their search as it relates to guitar body shape. I've now played Breedloves whose price point is about $500 and now these that are about ten times as much. These are special instruments for the guitarist looking for something on this level, to be sure, but I do really appreciate that Breedlove offers really solid instruments at a wide range of price points.

Hi, Gretchen... Thanks for this really informative & pleasing demo video... I'm curious as to how you chose which songs to play with each one of the guitars... I so love Zeppelin's acoustic material, as much as their harder stuff... My cousin & I saw Zepperella last Fall in Lynnwood, Wa., & both loved it! He's a drummer, so was particularly interested in Clementine's kit... Thank you for sharing your gifts & talents with us! 🫂🙏❤️🤘😎
