Thanks Robert! Hey, I think I know you. Just wingin' it there on the twelve string. Sometimes, the guitar holds the song and our job is just to let its voice loose.
@@GeesGearFineQualityInstruments Oh really? I'm in Phoenix AZ. I am just a hobbyist not a pro. I did however buy a Recording King 12 string about 5 years ago or so, when they first came out with the Dirty 30's line. It's got a deep body and booms just fine.
@@robertavery7891, Hah! Yes, you are someone else. I know a Robert Avery up here in Pennsylvania with whom I would frequently cross paths in open mics and gigs. A fine songwriter. Glad to hear about the Recording King and your happiness with that. I have an unusual guitar on the shop's bench right now, that might very well be a Recording King from the 1930s. It has a flat top and an arched back, ladder braced, with a floating bridge and trapeze tailpiece. There is no name or serial number on it anywhere, so I have been trying to compare its headstock shape to photos of guitars from the era. Nothing definitive yet, but it is very close to an old Recording King. The investigation continues!
@ I would check the Sears catalogs see who else made guitars for them. Gibson made the Recording King guitars for retail stores like Montgomery Ward and the like. Sounds fun. I did a lot of Japanese acoustic hunting myself for a spell and come away with some great Epiphones.
Love the Harmony 12. Your jam in the beginning was awesome 😎
