Neil does like old stuff. I'm surprised he is not
using an RCA Type 77-A Ribbon microphone.:woohoo:

You're probably right, it would be really hard to get all that in synch wouldn't it? He might be able to feed his guitar mike into a mixing box and then directly into the camera so it stayed together. To quote a famous message sent to Adm. Bill Halsey "...the world wonders"Bear, you could be right, hopefully he'll let us know, cause I'm curious too, I just think that if he were miking the guitars, it would involve a more extensive mixing process when he edits the videos, which would definitely create a gigantic lag, causing him to be unable crank out a million videos a second.
Just a thought. Them's ain't fightin' words.

Yeah, I should be worried about miking my own guitar, not how Neil does his. But then again... I'm a firm believer in a decent mic and a great pre than a great mic and a garbage pre. Ya know, garbage in, garbage out. Luckily, this doesn't seem to be an issue for our education.

Hi Guys,
I guess it wouldn't be too much trouble to spill a few trade secrets. As agentcooper surmised, I just use the mic on the camera, a Sony SR-12 or something like that. It would definitely slow me down significantly to add any mixing process.
As far as the guitars go, the SCGC is maple back & sides with an Adirondack spruce top. The back is carved into an arch to help focus the sound. The guitar is more punchy than warm.
The Claxton has a warmer sound and has koa back & sides with a German spruce top.
Maybe on next week's TARGET Live I'll talk a little more about the guitars.
Thanks for the interest...
Neil

Yeah, if I recall correctly you went over it in detail on one of the TG live sessions. It'd be really cool if to see a short on the discussion of tonewoods, and how they compliment each other.
Thanks Neil!

Bear, I think you owe me a gin and tonic. I accept digital drinks, although my ethernet cable can't really hold its liquor.
