AS158/2 - C'est si bon - New 1936 Gibson L-12 Advanced

Hey guys, i'm glad to present a new guitar on the channel, but it's the second 1936 Gibson L-12 on the channel (looking at the serial number acutally showed me that the one with different tailpiece and mccarty pickup is actually a 1937 so i'll have to correct from now on). I'm playing the song C'est si bon, and with the lyrics too (last take was an instrumental duet with my friend Fanou Torracinta, and i was playing the 37 L12).
The guitar is an advanced Gibson L-12 which means that it has a 17 inches wide lower bout which is X braced instead of parallele braced. The guitar is strung with phosphore bronze strings gauge 13, i'm playing a 0.71mm and the sound is captured by a Neumann TLM 103 and a Bluebird microphone.
Feel free to support the channel if you can : www.paypal.me/acousticstandards
I've decided to take a couple of student for online classes so hit me up if you're interested. Contact and info : [e-mail]
I haven't recorded albums in the style of those acoustic standards, but i have 2 albums on bandcamp with my Django tribute Quartet : romainvuillemi...
The third one "Three sides of a Coin" is just out, so don't hesitate to drop me an email if you'd like a physical copy, i can ship worldwide !!
I also have a youtube channel for the Django stuff with my 4tet : / @romainvuillemin
I’m always looking get my guitar collection to evolve so don’t hesitate to drop me an email if you’re selling your vintage archtop or if you want to trade etc.
Stay safe

A damn nice one! Everything: the guitar, the song, your interpretation! Romain, you're now one of the foremost practitioners of the lost art of singing swing songs accompanied just by your guitar. I know you just have a record out (congrats!!!!) but you should think about putting together a few songs and make a little record. An unpretentious affair, maintaining the spontaneity of these videos - at most, we'd allow you a double bass player like in "Here comes Mr. Jordan*… It would be 'S Wonderful ;D

Not sure which is better, the new L-12, your voice on this one, or that fantastic beard ;) Well done.

[@AcousticStandards]

Ahahaha thanks !!

[@AcousticStandards]

The two L-12 sounds very different, both very open and acoustic
